<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Gillian Triggs has wielded arrogant power without responsibility</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">No doubt the Attorney-General is turning his mind to who will be the next president of the Australian Human Rights Commission.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Let’s hope George Brandis can convince the Prime Minister we need someone with a more nuanced understanding of human rights and a less partisan approach to the role than Gillian Triggs. After more than four years in the gig, and with her term due to end next year, Triggs has treated the commission as a plaything for her partisan politics.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Even some of Triggs’s staff may share the view her departure from the commission can’t come soon enough. It is understood new Human Rights Commissioner Ed Santow wasn’t Triggs’s favoured candidate and the president has already clashed with new Sex Discrimination Commissioner Kate Jenkins, dressing Jenkins down.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Age Discrimination Commissioner Kay Patterson also is known to have had her problems with Triggs.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And petty scuttlebutt put out by the commission ensured former human rights commissioner Tim Wilson, who excelled in injecting common sense into human rights debates, was treated shabbily when he departed. Triggs couldn’t even manage to hold a formal farewell for Wilson, instead throwing together a last-minute morning tea. And when Aboriginal and Torres Strait ­Islander social justice commissioner Mick Gooda was formally farewelled last Friday, the Attorney-General was there, delivering high praise. Warren Mundine was also there to pay tribute to Gooda. The president was notably absent, delivering some words by video link instead.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As AHRC president, Triggs appears drunk on power. Section 11 of the Australian Human Rights Act sets out the functions of the commission, which include promoting an understanding, acceptance and public discussion of human rights in Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The act deliberately gives powers over policy advocacy to each of the commissioners with the president effectively remaining above the fray, overseeing and administering the commission so they can make decisions about matters that come before the human rights body free of bias and perceptions of bias. Unlike previous presidents who have avoided the media limelight and steered clear of policy ­activism, Triggs can’t resist either.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Last week, according to her biggest media spruiker, the ABC, Triggs banged her familiar drums as political activist, deriding the country, our judges, our politicians and our laws by claiming that human rights concerns in Australia had reached “unprecedented” levels in the past few years.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Triggs reportedly said Australia has become “isolated and exceptional in its approach to the protection of human rights”. She accused respective parliaments of failing to protect fundamental human freedoms and denounced our judges for not striking down laws that violated common law rights.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Trigg’s cri de coeur fits a green-left interpretation of human rights, filled with large doses of self-loathing for Australia. But it is a far cry from the more sensible appraisal of and less partisan approach to the full gamut of human rights that Australians deserve from a well-paid bureaucrat.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Triggs took aim at politicians for passing counter-terrorism laws that were “disproportionate to any legitimate aim to protect national security”. How does Triggs know this? She is not party to discussions of cabinet’s national security committee. She doesn’t have the skills of those who work at ASIO or access to their classified information. The truth is Triggs has no clue about the level of threat this country faces from Islamic terrorism.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In a world where rights often conflict with one another, terrorism has caused rights to clash even more violently as we work our way through the liberty v security quandary. By refusing to be part of a sensible discussion about the challenge, Triggs has chosen to inhabit the green-left world of power with little responsibility.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Her continued attack on the High Court of Australia for upholding offshore processing of <b>asylum</b>-seekers is more evidence that the AHRC president prefers indulgent politics over nuanced debate when it comes to immigration policy.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A thoughtful human rights conversation would recognise the compassion of policies that have put a stop to people dying at sea.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As with policies about national security, governments must confront competing tensions, in this case between accepting refugees and stopping people-smugglers. Rather than educating Australians about these complexities, Triggs has chosen the Pollyanna approach of the Greens, ignoring the scourge of people-smuggling and launching simplistic attacks on <b>boat</b> turnbacks and offshore processing.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In her reported comments last week, Triggs reinforced her partisan politics by taking aim at the Turnbull government’s policy to hold a plebiscite on same-sex marriage. The AHRC president ought to be encouraging a reasoned human rights debate about same-sex marriage among Australians, rather than trying to shut the population out from the debate. Sadly, Triggs has fallen for her own self-importance by imagining that Australians who voted at the federal election in favour of a gay marriage plebiscite don’t count when it comes to debating human rights.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Triggs is in true form when rushing to partisan judgments. In a bit of gratuitous politicking last year, Triggs linked Australia’s immigration policy to Indonesia ­refusing to change its death penalty laws just days after Bali Nine drug traffickers Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran were ­executed.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Last month, Triggs declared there were breaches of human rights at the Don Dale Youth Detention Centre, even after her own warning that it would be “foolish” to prejudge these matters as they would be decided by the royal commission.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And then there is section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act, where Triggs has demonstrably failed to approach the question of human rights with balance.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Triggs has been very chatty when it comes to challenging laws about national security and immigration but she is remarkably quiet when it comes to exploring the conundrum of a law that allows feelings to trump the fundamental human right to freedom of expression.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Even Bob Carr has raised the intolerance of the Left as a problem in the free-speech debate. During a discussion with Triggs last week, Carr alluded to the long-running <span class="companylink">Queensland University of Technology</span> case where students have been subjected to three years of legal fights under section 18C for innocuous comments they posted on <span class="companylink">Facebook</span>. Carr, who supports section 18C, asked: “But haven’t we got a problem when students at university end up facing heavy legal bills for expressing a view?” Rather than explore this human rights dilemma, the AHRC under Triggs touts for section 18C business. Race Discrimination Commissioner Tim Sout­phommasane recently encour­aged people offended by a Bill Leak cartoon to complain under section 18C.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This kind of make-work politicking by the AHRC exposes it as an activist organisation, more akin to GetUp! and the Greens than an independent body set up to undertake a balanced overview of human rights. Had Triggs paid more attention to her core job of overseeing the work of the commission rather than her policy ­activism, she might have quashed this ridiculous case when it first arose. Worse, the QUT case exposed how the AHRC under Triggs has shown scant regard for its own procedures. Ignoring the commission’s own handbook guidelines about informing those who are subject to a complaint and acting in a way that is fair and unbiased, the commission allowed 14 months to elapse before informing the students of the complaint against them, advising them only days before a compulsory conciliation conference.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">She has turned the commission into the home to green-left posturing and victimhood politics. Last year, Triggs accused our parliamentarians of being “seriously ill-informed and uneducated” about human rights. That kind of cheap shot aimed at people with whom you disagree is just another reminder why the Attorney-General must surely be determined to find someone who can restore the tainted reputation of the AHRC.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">If the commission is beyond repair, Scott Morrison, who has otherwise wiped his hands of showing leadership on cultural matters, might find that abolishing this body is a sensible budget saving.janeta@bigpond.net.au</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There is an "invisible catastrophe" in the Mediterranean: families who have lost their loved ones and do not know where they are buried - or even if they are dead.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A new report says many of the thousands of refugees and migrants who have died crossing the Mediterranean have not been identified, leaving kin traumatised.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And many of the bereaved are not being properly cared for, says Dr Simon Robins, lead author of the Mediterranean Missing report and a senior research fellow at the Centre for Applied Human Rights at the <span class="companylink">University of York</span>.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">One Muslim <b>refugee</b> was even told by a trauma counsellor to "get a girlfriend" to recover from the loss of his wife in a shipwreck.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Meanwhile the dead are buried in nameless graves in cemeteries from the Greek islands to Sicily and not enough is done to connect them with their loved ones, according to the report, which to be officially launched on Wednesday on the Greek island of Lesbos.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Behind the visible catastrophe of shipwrecks and deaths in the Mediterranean is an invisible catastrophe in which bodies are found and not enough is done to identify them and inform their families," Dr Robins said. "This is devastating for their families back home. They likened it to a form of torture where they are caught between hope and despair, not knowing whether they would ever see their loved one again, not knowing if they should give up hope and focus on the rest of their lives."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Efforts in Italy and especially Greece to connect the dead to their families are "superficial", Dr Robins said, and several years ago it was "genuinely catastrophic": "We saw bodies buried in mass graves, co-mingled remains and no data collected."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Now bodies are photographed, DNA samples taken and bodies buried in individual graves. However it's unclear if DNA records are reliably linked to gravesites - and there is no system to get DNA from families to match post-mortem data and make an identification. "Authorities are overwhelmed, they simply are not able to deal simultaneously with the thousands of living migrants coming and the many hundreds of bodies that have been turning up month by month," Dr Robins told <span class="companylink">Fairfax Media</span>.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Usually a body is only identified if a surviving relative was on the same <b>boat</b>, or other relatives can travel in time to make the identification. Countries are obliged, under international law, to seek to identify bodies they find and to involve families in that investigation, Dr Robins said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"We don't think that's being done, so there is a legal responsibility as well as a moral one on European states to respond."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The report suggested a central database in Europe for sharing grave locations and DNA, with a single point of contact for families to find their dead relatives.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On Monday alone, 6908 migrants were rescued in the Channel of Sicily in 35 rescue operations, pulling them from 44 rubber dinghies, eight small wooden boats and two bigger fishing boats.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Leadership, whether political, business, or public sector, marches under the banner of 'whatever it takes'.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A ustralia has great potential but the key to unlocking has gone missing - lost or stolen. When did this happen? It's hard to say; perhaps it was mislaid around the time John Howard and Peter Costello decided to secure their own political futures by doling out large handouts to taxpayer - bribes financed at the expense of future health, education, infrastructure and research. Or perhaps with the meanness, narrowness and lack of leadership inherent in the remark "we shall decide who comes here and when".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">No country could hope to prosper with such inward-looking leadership. And that set the benchmark for political discourse and decision-making for the next 20 years. It put the nation on hold. Like Bob Menzies before him, Howard was lucky with a booming</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">economy. Malcolm Turnbull has not had that economic good fortune, and the political landscape is more barren now too. In from a working-class backyard has blown Pauline Hanson, representing the anger and disillusionment of a lot of unversed Australians. Resilient and tough she may be, but her simple solutions to complex social problems mark her more as a populist demagogue than a democrat; she has no inhibitions in pushing and pursuing bigotry and racism. The mainstream media, with some exceptions, barely scrutinises or questions poor government decision-making. The issues that come and go are mere props for media personalities to enhance their egos and ratings. Belief in the substance of ethics and morality is an inconvenience: the promotion and advancement of</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">self is a catechism of the Right. Narcissism is an essential ingredient to the right of self-fulfilment, which is the core belief of many fundamental Christians (together with the acquisition of wealth). Established churches have suffered at the hands of corrupt leaders who are unable to adhere to the precepts of their own teachings; paedophilia and indifference to the plight of the suffering, whether Aboriginal, <b>asylum</b> seeker, drug user, abuse victim or disabled, has negated their public pronouncements. Leadership, whether political, business, or public sector, marches</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">under the banner of 'whatever it takes'. The net effect of this is secrecy, cut corners and corruption. The collapse pf the Bureau of Statistics' computer system on census night and the subsequent handling of the crisis by the ABS is a metaphor for what is happening in other branches of the public service - from Tax to Immigration and Foreign Affair. A sense of national achievement is a fading notion and defined as winning the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, stopping the boats and winning Olympic medals. Preserving the Australian way of life</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">and protecting northern borders from the great unwashed are key planks in the platform of the conservative, reactionary Right.

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Rudd, has put great strains on Australian democracy. We no longer understand what it is to build and nurture.

The poor state of the machinery of government, evidenced by the gutting of the <span class="companylink">CSIRO</span>, has been promoted by political ideology. Research is not a creative instrument or priority of the Right, which has trouble grappling with concepts and creativity.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Climate change is a metaphor for nothing left to lose. Successive governments have shown little desire to locate the key; they battle to enjoy the spoils of office and privileges of power, but not to govern. With increasing intensity, the dispossessed fight over degraded water resources, deteriorating infrastructure, diminishing health and educational outcomes, rusting cranes, while the rest of us lament over the lack of national leadership and foresight.

But when we do make changes we will do so in a considered way and they will be made by the ministers, the minister, myself, the cabinet." In the combustible public space of <b>asylum</b>-seeker policy, "our policies will change" had dramatic consequences. For several hours news services led with this message, before the Prime Minister, having no doubt benefited from stern advice, forcefully retracted. "There will be no resettlement of people on Manus Island and Nauru in Australia," he now insisted on ABC radio. "They will never come to Australia. I know that's tough. You could say we have a harsh border protection policy, but it has worked." And all prime ministerial comments on the issue have been like that since then, lauding "hard heads" and deriding "misty eyes". For the past decade and a half it has been routinely assumed that</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">any tough talk on <b>asylum</b> seekers is primarily aimed at the electorate, but in this case the intended audience was further afield: the people smugglers and potential clients, mainly in Indonesia, where any perception of a "softening" of policy could see the boats start up again. Similarly, in July 2013 the re- installed Kevin Rudd 's new hard- line declaration, that no one who arrives by <b>boat</b> would ever settle here, was largely interpreted through an immediate political lens - Rudd was appealing to voters - but his motivations were somewhat longer-term: to slow the traffic before polling day. And slow they did, dramatically - by more than a third in August, and then another half again in September. After that the new Coalition government's resolutely implemented turn-back policy all but terminated the traffic. In this arena, such utterances matter, and there's little room for nuance. But</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">inevitably the public language also conflates these goals with the demands of the overblown, often putrid domestic politics. Why does Australia have a policy of offshore detention of unauthorised maritime arrivals? The purpose is to deny them access to our legal system and, ultimately, Australian residency. The rationale is that without the lure of resettlement in this country, people will not be motivated to board those leaky boats. And that leaves more spaces in our humanitarian resettlement program which, as our major parties keep reminding us, is generous by international standards. A corollary is that resettlement in another first-world country, like New Zealand or Canada, would also constitute a "pull factor", and so people should only be sent to unappealing, poor places such as Cambodia and Papua New Guinea. Is actual cruelty also a part of the equation? Must life in detention</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">on Nauru and Manus be unpleasant and punitive, to double down on the disincentives? Surely not. To deliberately inflict psychological or physical pain on people who are guilty of no crime would be morally indefensible. No Australian government would do that. Would we? Yet some of the language, and current government policy, implies it does. And no one has yet explained why the government is unable to take action to heighten security on those two islands. During the Howard government's final two terms, the Liberal party room contained a significant minority of MPs who agitated, with occasional success, for softening of policy. Then, after 2007, Labor ended offshore processing, abolished temporary protection visas and, while retaining mandatory detention, promised to process claims more quickly. Hardly "open borders", but packaged as such by people smugglers to restart their</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">business model, it even, wretchedly, seems likely the moderated language - assurances that people would be treated humanely - became part of the sales pitch. The boats roared back, and in this Coalition government there are no <b>asylum</b>-seeker "mavericks" to be found. The argument is over; they all support harsh policies. And further inside the "base" the issue has become, as with global warming, totemic of the party's very identity. A prime minister weakened by a close re-election result has little room to move - even if he wanted to. Meanwhile, many <b>asylum</b>- seeker supporters blithely suggest something called a "regional arrangement" which, with the bulk of <b>asylum</b>-seekers flying to Indonesia from the other side of the planet, with the specific aim of getting to Australia, doesn't stand the most fleeting scrutiny. Earlier this month Frank Brennan, Tim Costello, Robert Manne and John Menadue penned "A solution to our <b>refugee</b> crisis" for Fairfax newspapers. They believe the Coalition's <b>boat</b> turn-back policy, coupled with heightened cooperation with Indonesian authorities, is now sufficient to keep traffic at bay, and so those poor souls on Manus and Nauru can now be brought to Australia without risk of incentivising more arrivals. (The refugees anyway; they make no mention of the several hundred whose claims were rejected.) That's a leap in faith - and contradicts a 2014 Menadue blog post titled "Tony Abbott did not stop the boats" which concluded that instead "The game-changer was Kevin Rudd 's announcement of July 19, 2013 on no resettlement in Australia for <b>boat</b> arrivals". But it's still probably worth a try even if it fails and another group of individuals ends up in offshore detention. The alternative, letting them rot, is unthinkable.

Malcolm Turnbull has appealed to all incoming MPs to recognise their central obligation to the ­people and the nation, and act in the cause of prudence and moral­ity to halt the relentless rise in Australia’s debt levels.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">With his numbers weakened in the new parliament, the Prime Minister has warned that the core “duty” of this political generation is to halt ­Australia’s advance into higher debt. This would end, without offsetting action, in “an economic crisis, much higher taxes, much higher cost of borrowing because the ­credit rating col­lapses, big cuts in government ­services and a diminution in every citizen’s quality of life”.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In an exclusive interview with The Weekend Australian, Mr Turnbull said his priority in the coming parliament was to confront and explain the economic challenge Australia faced.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">His mission was to promote policies to restrain spending, boost investment, encourage economic growth and guarantee a strong social safety net. Mr Turnbull said all 226 members of parliament, which opens next week, should recognise “it is our duty to confront these realities — we are living beyond our means”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Prime Minister said he was a “firm believer” in the view that leadership meant “telling the truth about the situation we are in”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This would be his central mission this term. He said denials of Australia’s financial situation had to end. “It’s a message for every member and senator but it’s a message for every Australian,” he said. “My core point is we have to make — and we are making — the moral case for budget repair.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“This is not just the case of your prudent bookkeeper or family ­accountant saying you’ve got to live within your means. All of that is true. But there’s a moral dimension here. Every dollar we borrow to fund our recurrent expenditure is a dollar we are borrowing from our children and grandchildren, including my grandchildren, all of our grandchildren. Because we are borrowing from them, we have to bring the budget back into balance.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The essential obligation of this parliament has got to be coming to terms with the economic ­reality of our situation. We have to have an honest debate about how we are going to deal with it.” Mr Turnbull reinforced the warnings from Scott Morrison this week that “if you just keep ­piling on debt and particularly if you add to that anti-business ­policies, you make yourself so ­vulnerable”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The eventual consequence, the Prime Minister said, would be “a slowdown in economic growth and you may go into reverse, yes, a recession, you can do that”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Australia’s debt is $430 billion with interest payments running at $16bn annually — still modest by global standards. But the trend is ominous given weak global growth, the risk of problems in China, an ageing population, big locked-in social spending and deep uncertainty over the new parliament.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While Mr Turnbull said he would “respect the independence, the autonomy and the independent judgment of every single member of the crossbenches”, he launched a scathing attack on the Labor Party for its policies and its tactics. Branding Labor as reckless for running policies that would ultimately hurt the disadvantage, Mr Turnbull said: “You cannot take the economy for granted. This is a throwback to the old-style socialism of the post-war era when the Left treated the economy and the wealth of the nation as a pie, a fixed amount which you simply have to redistribute.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The problem with Labor is that they are proposing additional taxes on investment and that will have the inevitable consequence of less investment and fewer jobs. The Labor Party of 2016 misses that point. The Labor Party of 20 or 30 years ago absolutely understood it. The party of Hawke, Keating and Wran understood this. The Labor Party of Shorten does not.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Of course, this is why socialism failed. As Margaret Thatcher used to say, the problem with socialism is that at some point you run out of other people’s money.” Mr Turnbull repudiated Mr Shorten’s midweek offer to assist the government with $8bn of savings across the forward estimates. He said the government would honour its savings but would not accept tax increases it had strongly opposed, notably changes to negative gearing and capital gains concessions.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Referring to the government’s planned omnibus bill of $6.5bn of savings Labor had accepted in the campaign, Mr Turnbull said of Mr Shorten: “We’re not asking him to support them because we won the election; we’re not asking him to support them because they’re a good idea — though both those are reasonable arguments. We’re asking him to support them ­because he said he would.” He said Mr Shorten, by contrast, was asking the government to “support measures we have consistently opposed”. He implied that Labor’s budget repair offer was a stunt designed to embarrass the government.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Turnbull broke into Mandarin when rejecting any suggestion China would react badly to its investments being vetoed on ­national security grounds. “Modern China was built on an assertion of national sovereignty,” he said. “When the People’s Republic of China was created, Mao Zedong famously declared ‘Zhongguo renmin zhan qi lai le’ — the Chinese people have stood up!</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“That’s why I have often ­remarked that we can say ‘Aodahlia renmin zhan qi lai le’ — the Australian people have stood up!” Mr Turnbull championed the government’s superannuation policy now being renegotiated in talks between the Treasurer and the backbench. He said the “vast bulk” of the package was “broadly ­acceptable” and it had been “very well received”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Prime Minister repudiated the elements for a deal on superannuation offered by Mr Shorten — setting the threshold for doubling the tax on superannuation contributions at a $200,000 ­income and three other changes Mr Turnbull said he “absolutely” rejected.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Asked about Medicare, Mr Turnbull said: “What we have to do this term is categorically ­reassure Australians about our commitment to universal health and Medicare ... Australians understand that health budgets are strained but they also understand we need to get better value for our health dollar.” Asked about the freeze on the GP rebate, he said the government had “not decided to change the policy” but it would be reviewed.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On <b>asylum</b>-seekers and refugees at Nauru and PNG, Mr Turnbull was adamant. It was “a wicked problem in every respect”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The government would look for third-country settlement ­options but the policy and message was non-negotiable, that “if you seek to come by <b>boat</b> to Australia you will not settle in Australia, full stop”.Mr Turnbull said he was “confident” and “expected” the parliament to run its three-year term. He believed discipline would be kept within Coalition ranks. He was “confident but absolutely not complacent” the three vital industrial relation bills would be passed by the new parliament.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Until recently, it would have been hard to imagine such bedfellows. The link between billionaire George Soros, godfather of left-wing pressure groups around the world, and Pope Francis’s most senior adviser was one of the startling revelations in files recently leaked from Soros’s Open Foundations Society. They show Soros, a generous benefactor of GetUp! in Australia, who bankrolls campaigns for liberalised abortion laws and same-sex marriage, donated $US650,000 to influence Pope Francis’s visit to the US last year. It was given to “build a bridge to a larger conversation about bread-and-butter economic concerns and shift national paradigms and priorities in the run-up to the 2016 presidential campaign’’.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Soros, an atheist who has described himself as “some kind of god, the creator of everything” is a major backer of Hillary Clinton. According to the minutes of board meetings, the foundation wanted to shift “pro family’’ debates in the US from the church’s traditional concerns about marriage, abortion, divorce, euthanasia and opposing the LGBTI agenda, to economic inequality, racial justice and immigrants’ rights.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The minutes show the foundation worked through Honduran Cardinal Oscar Rodriguez Maradiaga, who chairs Pope Francis’s advisory council of nine cardinals. He is a staunch opponent of globalisation and an advocate of radical action by the West on climate change. The donation went to two US faith groups, which, the minutes noted, were also working to shift the priorities of the church.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The foundation judged its efforts to be successful. The leaked minutes reflect sharp battlelines within the church. At stake are moral teachings dating back 2000 years to Christ himself, attitudes to Islam and jihadism, debates about opening borders to refugees and mass migration and questions about whether the poor are better served by market economies that have lifted millions of people out of poverty or a retreat to socialism.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In Australia, Bishop Vincent Long, who arrived in Australia after fleeing communist Vietnam by <b>boat</b> as a teenager, has touched on some key questions in his first two months as bishop of Parramatta. Ironically, while conservative columnist Andrew Bolt chided Malcolm Turnbull for hosting a Ramadan dinner rather than attending Bishop Long’s installation in June, parts of the bishop’s sermon that night would not have been out of place at a Greens get-together.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Attentive to prevailing trends, he acknowledged that in Sydney’s west, <b>asylum</b>-seekers and youth radicalisation were “politically charged issues’’.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This week, Bishop Long argued “Australia is a wonderful country but where it is in terms of its treatment of <b>asylum</b>-seekers, indigenous and marginalised people should trouble us’’. He also called for a “big tent church’’ addressing issues of “inclusion and equality’’ with “space for everyone, especially those who have been hurt, excluded or alienated, be they abuse victims, survivors, divorcees, gays, lesbians, women, disaffected members’’.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And yesterday Bishop Long demanded the closure of <b>asylum</b> seeker centres on Nauru, as well as Manus Island.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The most interesting ecclesial changes afoot are in China. Francis and the Chinese government are moving towards a rapprochement, vital for millions of Christians who have practised their faith since the 1949 communist revolution. Many have been killed or tortured for doing so.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Occasional disappearances and punishments of priests continue. But divisions between the Underground church (loyal to the Vatican) and the Patriotic church (subservient to government policies including the now-abandoned one child policy) have lessened, with significant crossover. The potential of Christianity to be a real force in China was recognised decades ago and fostered, among others, by George Pell during three visits to China in the 1980s and 90s. The burning question is whether Francis will succumb to Chinese pressure and let the government appoint bishops. Or he could insist on the Vatican exercising that function.The tectonic plates between faith and politics are shifting. The grand alliance forced by St John Paul II, Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher which restored freedom to millions without a shot being fired is under pressure. Many concerned about the future of freedom are anxious about what is taking shape.</p>

The first time Michael notices Mina is at a rally for refugees. Michael is on one side arguing against <b>boat</b> people, Mina is there to support. Michael is a privileged white kid who goes to a private school on Sydney’s North Shore. His parents founded the political party Aussie Values. Mina is a <b>refugee</b> from Afghanistan who wins a scholarship to Michael’s school. To support Mina’s education, her family is moving from the western suburbs to the North Shore, a place Mina calls “Pretentiousville”.

This type of nonsense at state schools is wrong on many levels.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">First, just how is it relevant to teach seven-year-olds an intricate subject like <b>refugee</b> policy?

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Would the primary school teacher who teaches kids that our government is “evil” care to resume such <b>refugee</b> deaths at sea? And if so, how could that be explained palatably to a room full of innocent seven-year-olds?</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Indonesia has a two-speed plan for Islamic State</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As you drive towards the old port in Jakarta, a large sign appears on a footbridge over the road saying “Embrace peace, reject terrorism”. It may sound like an overly optimistic message for a country in which more Australians have died from Islamic terrorism than in the rest of the world put together.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But the truth is that, so far, Indonesia is proving to be more resilient than most expected in the global war against Islamic State. In theory, the largest Muslim nation should be more vulnerable to the terror group than many other parts of the world. Yet it is Europe, not Indonesia, that is being scorched by major terror ­attacks inspired by Islamic State.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“My impression is that, honestly, they are not too strong here,” says Taufik Andrie, executive director of Jakarta’s Institute for International Peace Building. “Even though there are a lot of fatwas and guidance and instruction from Indonesian fighters in Syria, their ability to carry out an attack here is very limited right now.” This could all change quickly and with dangerous consequences for the thousands of Australians who holiday in Bali and elsewhere on this sprawling archipelago. But the key question is why Indonesia has so far been more resistant to Islamic State than even Australia which — on a per capita basis — had seen far more foreign fighters leave home to fight with the terror group.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">According to figures released this month by Australia’s financial intelligence agency, the <span class="companylink">Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre</span>, 568 Indonesians out of a population of 250 million are fighting for terror groups in Syria compared with 110 from Australia, which has only 23 million people.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While Indonesia is subjected to frequent low-level extremist ­attacks, usually directed against police, the only major Islamic State-inspired attack in the country has been the incompetent ­attacks in Jakarta in January when four poorly trained gunmen killed four people before being killed by police.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This attack hardly strengthened the image of Islamic State in Indonesia; rather, it triggered that an outpouring of condemnation against the terror group.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Even so, Jakarta is alive to the risks posed by the lure of Islamic State ideology.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Indonesia has large numbers of terrorists due for release from its prisons; it faces a sizeable number of returnees from the Syrian war zone; and it is seen by Islamic State, also known as ISIS, as a potential site for a future caliphate in East Asia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I think they feel genuinely concerned,” Attorney-General George Brandis told The Australian at a counter-terror conference in Bali this month. “You have the fact that there is something in the order of 450 people in Indonesian prisons who are potentially going to be released in the next year or so. You have the declared ambition of ISIS to establish a caliphate in East Asia. You have the fact that of the 37 international declared affiliates of ISIS, seven of them are Indonesian-based.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“And this is an Islamic nation, of course, so I think the Indonesians feel very vulnerable, but they have a more sophisticated appreciation of their own vulnerability and the nature of the threat than most countries in the region.” New Counter-Terrorism Minister Wiranto, a hardline and controversial commander in East Timor in the late 1990s, has vowed to pursue a “soft and hard power approach” to combating terrorism.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We never underestimate security threats, including terrorism,” he says. “The hunt for terrorist groups, unfolding their networks and enforcing the law will be continued.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“(But) a successful strategy should also put forward a soft approach through the values of religion and culture. We are also aware of the need to address pockets of poverty, economic disparity and social justice. This approach is an integral part in supporting the deradicalisation and counter-radicalisation programs.” The biggest stumbling block for Islamic State so far is that its form of extremist Sunni Wahhabism has struggled to take root in Indonesia’s secular democracy, where the state ideology, Pancasila, recognises six official religions, not just Islam. When Islamic State declared its self-proclaimed caliphate in the Middle East in mid-2014, imams in Indonesia’s mosques were quick to criticise the behaviours of the terror group as being incompatible with Islam.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The IIPB’s Taufik says moderates continue to be the dominant force in Indonesian Islam but he worries the balance is shifting and there is a “rising of conservatism in Islam in Indonesia”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Arab influence in Indonesian Islam has grown as a result of a concerted campaign from mostly Saudi Sunnis to fund school mosques and imams in Indonesia. Six satellite TV stations promote Wahhabi teachings around the clock. More women now wear the hijab in Indonesia than they once did. This is a battle of ideologies that will shape Indonesian Islam into the future even if, for now, the moderates still retain the upper hand.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Even so, the rise of Islamic State has revitalised jihadist networks in Indonesia, including ones that have been largely dormant since the spate of major attacks against Australians and other westerners in the 2000s beginning with the Bali bombing in 2002 and ending with the 2009 attacks on the <span class="companylink">Ritz-Carlton</span> and JW Marriott hotels.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But the impact of this revitalisation has been diluted by a rift between Indonesia’s formerly dominant terror group, Jemaah ­Islamiah, which carried out the Bali bombings, and the newcomer in Islamic State. This rift has slowed down the ability of Islamic State to tap into Indonesia’s jihadist base, despite the high-profile defection of former JI spiritual leader Abu Bakar Bashir to Islamic State.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“There is friction in prison between supporters of Islamic State and supporters of JI,” says Mira Kusumarini, director of the Jakarta-based conflict prevention think tank Search for Common Ground.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Taufik believes Islamic State is slowly gaining traction among the jihadist population in Indonesian prisons and he estimates that about 60 per cent of ­extremist inmates now back the terror group. But Taufik fears Islamic State’s weakness in Indonesia may be only temporary and that the terror group is taking a long-term strategic approach in Indonesia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I think they (Islamic State) are adopting the old strategy of JI and that is to softly and calmly prepare their support base here,” he says. He points to how the Indonesian fighters who returned from Afghanistan in the 1990s “hibernated for a while” before launching attacks in the 2000s.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While many terror-watchers have warned of the dangers posed by Indonesian fighters returning home after fighting in Syria, no returnee — and <span class="companylink">AUSTRAC</span> claims 183 foreign fighters have ­already returned to Indonesia — has yet participated in a major attack.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Newly released prisoners have posed more of a threat, as many still hold on to their extremist views. The Indonesian government, like the Australian government, is embarking on a range of deradicalisation and counter-radicalisation programs.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Indonesia has established a deradicalisation centre for terrorist inmates, and programs include rehabilitation, more integration, re-education for terror inmates and the empowering of religious leaders and psychologists to provide counter-narratives.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Ironically, Bali bomber Ali Imron now works for the authorities trying to convince prisoners that violence is counter-productive. But as in Australia, these programs are young and still largely experimental, and it remains to be seen how effective they will prove to be.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Another key reason for the failure of Islamic State to gain traction to date has been the often ruthless efficiency of Indonesian counter-terror apparatus, in particular the special forces unit Detachment 88.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The killing last month of Indonesia’s most wanted terrorist, Santoso, head of the Mujahidin of Eastern Indonesia, by the elite army unit Kostrad, was the latest in a long line of terrorists who have been killed by Indonesia’s counter-terror units that shoot first and ask questions later.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">These Indonesian units continue to be quietly but strongly supported by Australian intelligence agencies and the <span class="companylink">Australian Federal Police</span>, which have maintained close links and sharing arrangements. This counter-terror co-operation was the only part of the bilateral relationship that was not harmed by the diplomatic tensions between 2013 and 2015 over <b>asylum boat</b> turnbacks, beef exports and capital punishment.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But it is also the shoot-first tactics of Indonesia’s counter terror police that have helped make the public wary of fast-tracking new, stronger, counter-terror laws to tackle the rise of Islamic State.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Indonesian counter-terror laws are surprisingly weak given the country’s history of terrorism. It is still not illegal for Indonesians to fight abroad or to voice support for Islamic State.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After the terror ­attack in January, the government introduced into parliament a bill that proposed greater police powers and outlawed support for terror groups and for Indonesians to wage jihad on foreign soil. But the legislation is still moving at a snail’s pace through parliament. Some say this lack of urgency reflects an ultra-slow legislative process, under which parliament passed only four major bills last year.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Parliament is hopeless with these things despite the fact that everyone can see that the police have their hands tied because they are powerless to act on certain things,” <span class="companylink">Deakin University</span> terrorism expert Greg Barton says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Others says there is only tepid public support for stronger police powers in a country that until relatively recently was subject to authoritarian rule.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I think political parties think twice before processing that law,” says Arif Zulkifli, editor of the influential Tempo magazine. “The police is an institution that has low public trust.” Taufik says the government needs to be careful not to give the impression counter-terror laws are an attempt to control Islam or religious expression. “Some of the bigger Islamic organisations have given advice to the Indonesian police on how to behave in arresting terror suspects,” he says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But the cumulative effect of Indonesia’s counter-terror efforts so far has been to ensure Islamic State has not yet gained the foothold in the country that many were predicting. This month, ­Indonesia initiated counter-terror and counter-terror ­finance conferences in Bali attended by 20 nations, including European countries, which called for closer collaboration against Islamic State.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I think Indonesia is handling this (challenge) very competently,” says Brandis. “It has a clear appreciation of the magnitude of the problem and a realistic understanding of its own vulnerabilities.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“And it has a willingness at all levels of the government to tackle the problem in co-operation with international partners and in particular with Australia.”Cameron Stewart travelled to Indonesia as the recipient of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade’s Elizabeth O’Neill Journalism Award.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A trail of blood marked the walls; sprinkles of glass fell to the floor. Ismail Hussaini had just finished soccer practice, which was his main motivation to wake in the mornings at the Christmas Island detention centre, when he saw a fellow <b>refugee</b> try to kill himself. A few days after the unsuccessful suicide attempt, the then 17-year-old walked into a room where the same <b>refugee</b> smashed himself on the head with a mirror. "After security guards took him to medical there was so much blood left all over the room, and children had seen it," he said. "I always saw people cutting</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">their arms, their heads ... a lot of people just cried all day and would fight over little things because they were so traumatised. Others just wanted sleeping tablets to keep them asleep for as long as possible." Mr Hussaini said he fled Afghanistan in 2011 aged 17 and endured eight days on a leaky <b>boat</b> when he was intercepted by the navy off Australia's north-west coastline. The <b>asylum</b> seeker spent 2 months at the Christmas Island detention centre before he was taken to Wickham Point detention centre near Darwin for three more months. Now 22, Mr Hussaini is studying journalism at the <span class="companylink">University of Canberra</span> and is grateful for his opportunity to live in Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But he called for the closure of all offshore detention centres and faster processing for onshore detention to save the mental health of detainees. "There is so much self- harm, even on onshore detention centres where there are good facilities, because people are left there for years not knowing where they'll be sent [to live]. It was devastating," he said. "Every day was so hard sitting behind that fence, watching the cars drive past and being treated like a prisoner. It was like that in detention centres run by Australians, I know it would be much worse on Manus Island and Nauru." Mr Hussaini was speaking out in response to the 2000 incident reports detailing trauma suffered at</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Nauru, most recently evidenced in Guardian Australia's release last week. Some of the files, including a harrowing account of a Nauru guard bashing a toddler at the detention camp, was written by Canberra-based whistleblower Toby Gunn, who recently spoke to The Canberra Times about his firsthand experiences on the island which exposed a pattern of systemic abuse and neglect of children who sought safety from him. Days after the Nauru files were released and more than three months after PNG's Supreme Court found the Manus Island detention centre was unconstitutional, PNG announced that Australia agreed to close the Manus Island facility. But Immigration Minister</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">
Peter Dutton insisted Nauru would remain open as a deterrent to people smugglers. Mr Hussaini was said the Australian government should move all refugees that were still kept offshore to onshore detention centres, where living conditions are "good", but that the unbearable uncertainty caused by indefinite detention harmed people despite better facilities. "People must be treated like humans." +At 5.30pm on Tuesday, the Canberra <b>Refugee</b> Action Committee will hold a protest rallying for the closure of offshore detention centres. It will take place on the corner of Northbourne Avenue and Barry Drive.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">IS leadership now dead in Australia? Are our “leaders” now mere managers, just ticking boxes and following process?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Let me give two examples of this deadly managerialism from last week. One shows the gutlessness of the Turnbull Government; the other is the astonishing revelation that NSW’s top police went home during the Lindt cafe siege.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">First, the government.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The day Malcolm Turnbull challenged Tony Abbott to become Prime Minister he actually promised to be a real leader.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We need a style of leadership … that respects the people’s intelligence, that explains these complex issues, and then sets out the course of action we believe we should take, and makes a case for it.” I could not have said it better. Leaders are not corks on a river, drifting with the current. They are the river, sweeping others with them. They act, not react.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">One complex issue Turnbull promised to explain and act on was free speech. To win support for his challenge, he privately told conservative MPs he would reform the Racial Discrimination Act.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That should not be a hard issue to explain, given this wicked law has now been used against seven <span class="companylink">Queensland University of Technology</span> students who dared to complain of racism when they were kicked off computers their university claimed were only for Aborigines.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Several of those students have since paid money to make this case go away, but three refuse to say they are guilty when they aren’t and are now being sued for $250,000.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And don’t think this is just a one-off. Scores of complaints are privately settled each year by the <span class="companylink">Human Rights Commission</span>, which has now asked the public to ask it to punish The Australian’s Bill Leak for drawing a cartoon pointing out the shocking rate of child abuse in Aboriginal communities.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Given this, Turnbull should be able to explain why the Racial Discrimination Act must be reformed, but he’s refused to even try.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Just why not, he won’t say. He simply says it’s not a “priority”, but it seems Turnbull doesn’t want the grief of arguing for what many journalists, ethnic spokesmen and “human rights” activists oppose, and which the Senate would reject.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In fact, one of his ministers — staying safely anonymous — last week proved the Turnbull Government is determined not to show the leadership Turnbull once promised.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Asked by The Australian about the Liberal backbenchers now demanding reform of the Racial Discrimination Act, the minister sneered: “None of them can count.” He meant the dissenters did not have the numbers to force Turnbull to change his mind, and even if Turnbull did give in, he’d still be a couple of votes short in the Senate to outvote Labor and the Greens.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Why try when you’d fail?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Pardon? Do the Greens stop arguing against our <b>boat</b> people laws just because the numbers in the Senate are against them?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Did Labor stop arguing for same-sex marriage just because Parliament said no? Sometimes it is a question of pride and moral seriousness for a political party to fight for a losing cause. It’s also important to fight when the cause is so just and your own supporters believe you stand for nothing.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But look at that Turnbull minister, too scared to even let a journalist publish his name as he sneers at fighters for free speech. Each of the three students being sued, in fighting for their rights to speak, has more courage than this minister. They are leading on an issue that the government is merely trying to manage.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But isn’t that the government now? Going with the flow. The cork and not the river.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Which brings me to last week’s other example.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In December 2014, Iranian <b>refugee</b> Man Monis held 15 people hostage at gunpoint in the Lindt cafe in Sydney’s Martin Place. Police knew Monis was an Islamic State supporter and feared he also had a bomb. The hostages told them in phone calls from the cafe they thought this terrorist capable of murder: “We are not going to walk out of here.” So where was the NSW head of counter-terrorism, deputy police commissioner Catherine Burn?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Well, not once in this 16-hour siege did she drop in on her officers at the siege. In fact, at 10pm, with the 15 hostages still facing death, Burn went home. So, later, did her boss, police Commissioner Andrew Scipione. Incredible.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In their defence, Scipione and Burn insist they were managers. They left the situation to their experts. They shouldn’t second-guess their officers in charge.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Except, of course, those officers were dealing with an unprecedented situation and struggling with equipment failures, including police radios and phone lines for hostages that didn’t work properly.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They were also struggling to make the right calls — in particular, whether to stick with the usual tactic of talking down a gunman, or adopt the new paradigm of the terrorism age and kill him before he killed.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They chose to talk. And two hostages died.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">To me, it’s bizarre that a police chief and a head of counter-terrorism would not want to be at the siege, even if only to ensure their officers had all the help they might need, and to ensure no mistakes were made.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But this may not be just a failure of two individuals. This may instead be the culture of the NSW police.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I say this because 15 years ago, another senior officer from the NSW force, Christine Nixon, was hired as Victoria’s first female chief commissioner, charged with making the force more female-friendly.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But in 2009 came Black Saturday and some of the worst bushfires in Victoria’s history.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The fires looked ugly from early on. Police had to help with evacuations, traffic, and saving lives.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But Nixon, their boss, went that day to the hairdresser. She talked to her biographer. She did paperwork for 90 minutes.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Late that afternoon, she was warned that people would die but minutes later, Nixon went home, and then to a restaurant with friends.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">So she ate dinner as Kinglake burned and by the time she’d finished, Marysville was in ashes, too, and most of Black Saturday’s 173 victims were dead.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Now, Nixon has argued that her critics didn’t understand.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“It was not my job to swoop in and take control,” she told a royal commission. “When you have good people who are more skilled in emergency management than I am, you let those people do the job.” The royal commission disagreed with Nixon’s detached managerialism: “Something more was required.” But Nixon did later say emergency management learned one lesson from her: “I don’t think anybody will ever leave the scene of anything ever again, with the criticism that happened.” Except, at the Lindt cafe siege, they did leave the scene. Again. Are these now our “leaders”? Managers? Mere corks in a river? ORDER ANDREW’S NEW BOOK BOLT — WORTH FIGHTING FOR — AT HERALDSUN.COM.AU/SHOP</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor MPs have questioned the level of public support for the government’s offshore processing regime, warning it risked becoming untenable, as Nauru’s President Baron Waqa accused critics of treating the island nation like an ideological “punching bag’’.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After more than 20 Labor candidates publicly opposed offshore processing during the election campaign, opposition MPs warned yesterday that the regime would become untenable if the government failed to restore public confidence in the policy following damning allegations of <b>asylum</b>-seeker self-harm and abuse on Nauru.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Bill Shorten, who secured ALP national conference backing for offshore processing last year, is pushing for a parliamentary inquiry following the leaking of more than 2000 <b>asylum</b>-seeker incident reports.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But Mr Waqa has hit back at the claims, accusing some Australian MPs, advocates and media outlets of treating the island nation like an ideological “punching bag”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Writing in The Australian, he says refugees are encouraged by activists to fabricate reports of abuse and argues they live in accommodation “far better than local Nauruans” and can travel freely in the community.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">With the Turnbull government still looking at third country resettlement options for refugees held on Nauru, opposition frontbencher Brendan O’Connor yesterday told Sky News it was unreasonable for people to remain offshore indefinitely.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“You cannot have offshore processing as an option if you do not have public confidence in the manner in which it’s dealt with,” Mr O’Connor said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“There needs to be a greater focus … to find genuine resettlement opportunities around the world, other than Australia.” A spokesman for the Opposition Leader accused the government of failing to secure “durable and credible” third country resettlement arrangements, saying Malcolm Turnbull needed to make this a key priority of his government. “The people-smugglers must not be allowed back in business and regional processing is an important measure to prevent tragic deaths at sea,” he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The tough message came as Tasmanian Labor senator Lisa Singh warned that the public had already lost confidence in the offshore processing regime, suggesting those who could not be resettled elsewhere should be ­allowed to come to Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“If there is no third-party option, then it is Australia’s duty of care to bring them here to our care to be settled in the Australian community,” she said. “How can they deny these Nauru files?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Isn’t one case of sexual assault against a child serious enough to intervene, and take action?” Human Services Minister Alan Tudge denied that public faith in offshore detention was diminishing. He told Sky News there was still public support for the government’s border protection policy of <b>boat</b> turnbacks, offshore detention and temporary protection visas.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Queensland Labor MP Graham Perrett yesterday said the party could support only a functional offshore processing policy, warning that foreign aid cuts had made it more difficult for the government to negotiate third-nation resettlement deals.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The Labor Party still supports offshore processing,” he said. “But that’s with processing being a functioning word, not a redundant term in the title.” Senator Singh said Tasmania could act as a “safe haven” for detainees on Manus Island after Australia and Papua New Guinea reached an in-principle agreement to close down the detention facility there.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Immigration Minister Peter Dutton has repeatedly said those in offshore detention centres will not be granted entry to Australia.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Detainees face the choice of staying in PNG or going home</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Turnbull government’s decision, after talks with Papua New Guinea, to close the Manus Island immigration detention centre is a sign Australia’s tough border protection regime, including offshore processing, has worked. The move was anticipated following a PNG Supreme Court ruling in April that the centre was illegal. As Immigration Minister Peter Dutton said last week, one of the benefits of stopping the boats is that Australia now can do without the capacity it provided. As a result of the pending closure, and the leaking of thousands of files alleging serious abuse and self-harm among <b>asylum</b>-seekers on Nauru, the Greens and <b>refugee</b> activists claim offshore processing has had its day.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Abandoning the option, however, would risk a return to the failures of the Rudd-Gillard era in which 50,000 <b>asylum</b>-seekers arrived by <b>boat</b> and 1200 drowned after Labor scrapped the Howard government’s Pacific Solution. Violence and disruption since German Chancellor Angela Merkel opened the doors to one million refugees last year underline the risks of weakening border protection in the current international environment. Australia — and thousands of the world’s neediest refugees — are far better off if our government sticks to a generous, orderly <b>refugee</b> processing system through official channels.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph"><b>Refugee</b> advocates want detainees in offshore centres resettled in Australia and West Australian Premier Colin Barnett says his state would accept some. However well-intentioned, such an outcome would be a virtual green light to people-smugglers to resume their deadly trade. A decision to allow current detainees into Australia would be used by people-smugglers to convince potential passengers they would reach Australia sooner or later. For the same reason, settling refugees in New Zealand would also be a mistake because of the free movement of citizens allowed informally under the Trans-Tasman Travel Arrangement.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Under the agreement between Labor and PNG, <b>asylum</b>-seekers processed on Manus Island and found to be refugees are free to settle in PNG. They can be resettled in a third country, but not Australia. Until the Turnbull government reaches an agreement with a suitable third country, the refugees’ choice between PNG or going home must remain in place. The government could also consider consolidating offshore processing by looking at transferring detainees to Nauru.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On our Opinion page today, Nauru’s President Baron Waqa defends his country’s record, arguing that refugees live in accommodation “far better than local Nauruans”, are free to travel in the community, and some have established businesses or found jobs. Activists, he claims, have encouraged refugees to fabricate reports of abuse.Official figures show 854 <b>asylum</b>-seekers still in detention on Manus Island and 442 in Nauru. But the removal of all children from detention and the closure of 17 onshore centres shows the Coalition’s policy, which Malcolm Turnbull prosecuted strongly during the election campaign, continues to prove effective. It has stopped the boats, a success that must not be jeopardised.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Opinion columns, including this one, all too often criticise politicians and governments for their regular mistakes.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">So allow me to applaud that rare and marvellous thing: a policy that has actually worked and, in the process, commanded broad public and political support. I am referring to the border protection policies that John Howard and his immigration minister Philip Ruddock put in place. From 1999 to 2001, more than 12,000-plus <b>boat</b> people are known to have paid for unauthorised passage to Australia. As a result, public confidence in our immigration system was diminishing dramatically. All that changed 15 years ago this week when the Norwegian freighter MV Tampa, packed with <b>boat</b> people, entered our waters.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On August 26, 2001, the ship's captain had turned away from Indonesia and towards Christmas Island because he was intimidated by a group of those he had saved.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Howard, with strong public support, refused them entry. His government subsequently implemented tough policies, such as offshore processing.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">At the time, David Marr, Mungo MacCallum, Guy Rundle, et al, lined up like a wailing Greek chorus to condemn Howard's policy on refugees. They said it was a cruel attempt to demonise the helpless, and in any case the policy would not work effectively.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They all owe Howard an apology. The facts reveal the Pacific Solution has done more for immigrants and refugees than open door advocates ever imagined. Sure, the measures have been severe and there remains a case for more transparency at the centres. But Howard - like Tony Abbott more than a decade later - knew that deterrence required firmness.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Simply put, tough border protection not only discourages people from making perilous journeys on the high seas. It also, crucially, boosts public confidence in a large-scale, non-discriminatory migration program, including an orderly humanitarian <b>refugee</b> intake which is, on a per capita basis, one of the world's most generous.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Implicit in Howard's advocacy of border controls was a truly sound belief that mass migration is conditional on government control over "who comes to this country and the circumstances in which they come", as he put it in 2001.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That is why strict criteria for entry resonate with ordinary people. It is a declaration that Australia is in charge of its destiny. If the compact with the public is undermined, support for a rigorous migration program will collapse. And if border controls were soft, unlawful and unsafe arrivals would skyrocket, a fact the <b>refugee</b> activists seem to ignore.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Just look at the record. With Howard's policy of offshore processing, unauthorised <b>boat</b> arrivals largely stopped. At the same time, the rate of legal, non-discriminatory immigration doubled from 2002 to 2007.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Yet when Kevin Rudd dismantled the Pacific Solution in 2008, the disincentives were removed and the people smugglers were back in business. For the next five years more than 50,000 people arrived in unauthorised boats, and about 1200 died at sea.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But normal programming resumed in 2013 when Abbott, Scott Morrison and Peter Dutton came to power. Why? Because they reintroduced many of the Howard-era policies. Ever since, the boats have stopped. Lives have been saved. Thousands, including all children onshore, have been released from detention.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It was not Tony Abbott, but former Labor leader Mark Latham who said of onshore processing: "It's a death trap, encouraging people to risk lives aboard unseaworthy vessels."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It was not Scott Morrison, but former Labor foreign minister Bob Carr who wrote in his diaries the surge in <b>boat</b> people during the Rudd-Gillard-Rudd era was a "catastrophe" and "the biggest threat to Australian territorial integrity since World War II".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">No wonder Bill Shorten maintains a hard line on border protection. If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, it is a touching tribute to Howard and Ruddock.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Defenders of mandatory detention say the policy saves lives by deterring people from attempting the dangerous trip to Australia by <b>boat</b>. It does, but not in isolation. Desperate people still strike out, but the government now turns intercepted boats back at sea. During the election campaign Mr Dutton revealed the Coalition government had turned back 28 boats carrying 734 people. He did not mention the fate of those vessels or people.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It seems clear that Australia's tough stance has slowed the flow of <b>asylum</b> seekers across the water. And what of the opportunity cost? That $2 billion constitutes half the Gonski school reform package shortfall. The numbers become dizzying when you consider there are now just 854 souls in detention on Manus, and of those who have had their <b>refugee</b> claims processed, 98 per cent have found to be true.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There are other costs. Having sought to establish itself as a middle power that "punched above its weight" diplomatically, Australia has earned approbation for its treatment of <b>boat</b> arrivals since the Tampa incident of 2001. As recently as August 12 the spokesman for the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights criticised Australia for allegations of abuse of detainees in Nauru. In May a New York Times columnist called on Australia to "Scrap a policy that shames a nation with its pointless cruelty".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And so we return to the human cost. Australia's two main political parties took a hardline stance against <b>boat</b> arrivals - with the support of a majority of Australians and The Sun-Herald - well before crises in the Middle East and North Africa prompted the greatest movement of refugees from their homes since WWII.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As the rest of the world grapples with this catastrophe, Australia spends vast resources not on ameliorating the misery of refugees who have sought our protection, but of prolonging it in order to dissuade others from following.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Now more than ever the government must work on a multilateral, humane and long-term set of policies to empty Australia's camps and, if they remain as a deterrent, improve conditions so as to better observe our international responsibilities as well as our moral obligations.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For this to happen both parties must reject the temptation to further politicise a debate that has been poisoned. Recent reports about renewed consideration of Malaysia as a destination for Australia-bound <b>asylum</b> seekers are welcome.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Plenty of people, upset by Australia's callous treatment of <b>asylum</b> seekers, have warned history will judge the country poorly for dispatching fellow human beings to languish for years in island camps. But that judgment should not be presumed to some distant future: it is here and now that Australia's reputation is being sullied by the cruel insistence on offshore detention. It is past time the government closed the centres on Nauru and Manus Island.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The misery inflicted by Australia's policy is compounding daily. Reports continue to mount about abuse, self-harm and pyschological distress among the people being detained. On Nauru earlier this year, a man and then a woman set themselves on fire. Officials can quibble the camp gates are now open, but it is abundantly clear the <b>asylum</b> seekers are not free. These islands are bereft of opportunity for those trapped there without the option to leave, and it is a mark of the inhumanity of Australia's system that the very identity of people is systematically masked by bureaucratic babble, under the label "transferees".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">International condemnation is growing; politicians in New Zealand last week openly wondered whether Australia has lost its moral compass, while the United Nations has raised persistent concerns. It would be mindless parochialism to simply dismiss such complaints as unwelcome foreign interference. These are warnings that match those of human rights organisations within Australia and a host of community leaders.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Yet the Turnbull government has once again reacted to legitimate worry with stubborn indifference. Immigration Minister Peter Dutton, who shamefully implied in May that people who self-immolated had done so at the behest of <b>refugee</b> advocates, last week attacked the media for reporting abuses in the camps. Mr Dutton's bluster and unfounded warnings about the threat from refugees only betrays the weakness of government's justification for persisting with what has transformed from a system of offshore processing into one of indefinite detention.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There is an obvious solution to this ridiculous and inhumane stand-off, and that is to bring people from the island camps to Australia. Western Australian Premier Colin Barnett, who could hardly be described as a bleeding heart, said last week his state would be willing to accept <b>asylum</b>-seeker families. Victoria's Daniel Andrews similarly offered in February to accept responsibility for people threatened with deportation to Nauru.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The need is becoming more urgent. When the Supreme Court in Papua New Guinea ruled in April the Manus Island camp was unconstitutional, the Turnbull government squandered a chance to immediately signal it would end indefinite detention. Instead, Australia has dragged out negotiations to close the camp in the hope of finding another country to settle the people detained. Mr Dutton has admitted there is no "third country option" available.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The government must no longer seek to avoid its responsibility, and merely blaming the problem on Labor is a poor excuse. There is no doubt the challenge of <b>boat</b> arrivals has been exploited for political gain, and Tony Abbott admitted as much when conceeding recently he should have allowed the Gillard government to implement its "people-swap" with Malaysia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">
Malcolm Turnbull should be devoting every energy to forging a genuine approach in co-operation with the region towards <b>asylum</b> seekers, rather than demanding Australia be treated as an exception. That would be the kind of solution that Australia might be proud to see remembered.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">
Peter Dutton is taking his war on people smuggling to a new level, one that defies logic and basic decency and appears to be more about establishing his big-C conservative credentials than protecting the nation's borders.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Not content with contradicting his Prime Minister and declaring there is no third country option for the refugees stranded on Manus Island, Dutton now insists that any refugees who are granted PNG citizenship will never be allowed to travel to Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The news came not at a media conference or in a press release after the proposition had been endorsed by the cabinet or Coalition party room, but in response to a text message from a listener during a radio interview with the very supportive Ray Hadley on Thursday.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The question was simple enough: if "these people" at some point in the future were granted a PNG passport, would they be able to travel to "our country"?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">No, came the answer. "That would be the case in any arrangement that we enter into," Dutton explained. "There likely would be a change to some law which we would need Labor to support, and we'll wait and see whether they do support that, but I've made it clear that, even if people are granted citizenship elsewhere, they're not then coming to Australia."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Listeners were not told those who have spent three years in detention on Manus have to be in PNG for eight years before they can even apply for citizenship, or that many of them have brothers, sisters, wives, children and cousins in Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Nor were they told how denying certified refugees with valid passports and no criminal records entry to Australia - surely the most basic right of freedom of movement - could conceivably encourage the people smuggling trade.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Nor were they told that citizens of other countries have no ability to lodge protection claims concerning persecution in their country of origin if they visit Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In some cases, it was a mere quirk of fate that meant that some family members arrived before, and others after, Kevin Rudd declared before the 2013 election: "As of today, <b>asylum</b> seekers who come here by <b>boat</b> without a visa will never be settled in Australia."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For those on Manus with family in Australia, the daily queuing for meals in the detention centre is the most painful reminder of separation, because meal-time used to be family time.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After Dutton's remarks, I spoke to two <b>asylum</b> seekers at the detention centre with family in Australia and the response was sadly predictable. This was, said 24-year old Ben, who has cousins in Melbourne, another form of the mental torture the <b>asylum</b> seekers have endured to for the past three years.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The refugees on Manus and Nauru did not, of course, get a vote in the July 2 election, but they stand to lose the most from Malcolm Turnbull 's wafer-thin victory.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Had Labor won, Bill Shorten vowed to put his immigration minister on the first plane to Geneva to enlist the <span class="companylink">UNHCR</span> in finding resettlement countries, while retaining turnbacks and offshore processing.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Had Turnbull scored an emphatic victory that enhanced his authority, he gave the distinct impression that ending the misery of those on Nauru and Manus would be a priority. That, at least, was my conclusion when he told Four Corners' Sarah Ferguson that finding "alternative places for them to settle" would be "easier" after the election.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Almost two months on, this does not appear to be the case. Rather, Dutton gives every indication that little effort is being made to find third countries with established resettlement programs; that First World resettlement options like the US, Canada and New Zealand are off limits; and that the options for those on Manus are to go home (even if they are refugees) or settle in PNG.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Immigration Minister appears to be driven by twin convictions: one, that the slightest hint of compassion will be viewed as a sign of weakness that will embolden the people smugglers and lead to deaths at sea; and two, that public opinion is overwhelmingly on his side.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Rather than increase pressure on the government to find a solution for those who have been left in limbo, the leaking of the "Nauru files" to Guardian Australia appears only to have hardened his resolve.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In one interview this week, he insisted he was not going to be "defamed" by the likes of <span class="companylink">the Guardian</span> or the ABC, and said flatly there was "no third country option for people out of Manus at this point in time".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In another, he defamed those who have been found to have a well-founded fear of persecution if they return to their country, telling 7.30's Leigh Sales: "I think the situation is that people have paid people smugglers for a migration outcome."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Implicit in his refusal to bend is what amounts to a vote of no-confidence in the ability of Operation Sovereign Borders to repel any attempt to restart the smuggling trade through turnbacks, co-operation with Indonesia and the policy that new arrivals will be processed offshore and not resettled in Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">What we do not know is how much effort Turnbull is devoting to finding an outcome, and whether Foreign Minister Julie Bishop is engaged in talking to counterparts in developed and developing countries with resettlement programs.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">One likelihood is that Malaysia, the country that was spurned as part of any response not once, but twice, by the Coalition purely to extract partisan political advantage, is part of any such endeavour.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">What we do know is PNG has neither the will nor the capacity to resettle anything like the 850 souls who are still living in the detention centre it has committed to close after it was deemed unconstitutional by PNG's highest court in April.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">What we also know is that the mental state of those on Manus and Nauru continues to deteriorate at an alarming rate, and that there will be more tragic consequences if no solution is found.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It isn't the conditions on Nauru or Manus that are the biggest problem, or the level of care the <b>asylum</b> seekers are afforded, or the tensions within the <b>refugee</b> populations and with the wider communities. It is that people can only survive for so long without any hope before they are broken.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This is the reality that only Turnbull has the power to address, with or without the support of his ambitious Immigration Minister.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">N auru and Manus Island have served the coalition well, right up to the election, but there are ominous signs that the music may stop leaving us without a seat. The Australian government may need a new policy. It's not a matter entirely within its control. In Papua New Guinea, Prime Minister Peter O'Neill announced - after a meeting with our Immigration Minister Peter Dutton - that the Australian concentration camp on Manus Island would close. This seemed a surprise to Dutton when he was asked about the plan and the timetable and, for a time, he seemed to imply that this was PNG's problem, since the men in open-gate durance vile would not be coming to Australia. That's the problem with PNG politicians. One can rent the government - as Kevin Rudd did in</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">2013 - but one can never quite buy them. O'Neill has his own political problems, not least a forthcoming election, and being held to the letter of an old deal is hardly his first priority. Anyway circumstances have changed since his Supreme Court, through our very own Terry Higgins, ruled the arrangements unconstitutional. Meanwhile the situation on Nauru is, as one commentator put it recently, only a Four Corners report away from being politically or diplomatically unsustainable. An investigation by <span class="companylink">The Guardian</span> has</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">put out further evidences of great unhappiness at the camp. It is not so much that it is damning (though it is), but it is yet further confirmation that nothing in that hellhole improves. <span class="companylink">The Guardian</span> scoop was greeted with the usual sets of official half- denials, bluster, prevarication, obfuscation, claims of exaggeration and arguments that it is an "old story". There were innuendoes of secret and hidden agendas on the part of whistleblowers and the left- Liberal media, especially the ABC. <span class="companylink">News Ltd</span> did not notice the story,</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">or if it did, think it worthy of even the most minor attention, no doubt helping to prove to Dutton that the non-<span class="companylink">News Ltd</span> Media are still engaged in jihad against him. The essential story does not turn on fresh information, as such. But what there is confirms what previous reports, whether from independent outsiders, human rights' commissions, Amnesty and the <span class="companylink">UN</span> , and a Senate committee have previously shown - that the system is driving almost everyone there towards suicide, depression and self-harm. These reports continually suggest indifference on the part of the department and the contractors who carry out the government's dirty work. The usual pattern is denial, "clarification" with very self-interested (and unconvincing) efforts to minimise or dispute the facts, intimidation of workers and</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">assignment of blame or responsibility to the Nauran government. But as at least Sam Dastyari, of the Labor Party, seems to have twigged, the Australian public is not that stupid. A clear majority agree that <b>boat</b> people will be stopped only if they are to be denied access to Australia, even if found (as they mostly are) to be genuine refugees. Ministers from the prime minister down continually reiterate it, invariably in a political context during that Labor in power would lack the guts to carry the policy through. But there is evidence that the public no longer sees everything done with <b>boat</b> people as part of a seamless whole. The policies fit into two categories. One is about <b>boat</b> interception and resettlement, whether on Manus or Nauru. It is shrouded in</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Jig is up on the <b>refugee</b> hells we outsourced</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">From Page 1</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">secrecy and want of accountability, but apparently quite successful.Then there's the policy and the practice of effectively punishing the <b>boat</b> people - children and women as much as men - by making their lives as miserable as possible. This happens in places that are inaccessible to outsiders, particularly to those who might alert the public to the horrible things being done in our nation's name. More members of the public are now wondering whether the cruelty, isolation and neglect is necessary. Given the fabulous sums of money involved in detaining people on these islands, might it not be possible to give people some comfort, some dignity and some respect for the sufferings from which they have fled, or the sufferings they have endured since running into Australia's border forces? Some in government and the bureaucracy think that any relaxation of the regime runs the risk of seeming weak in the face of resistance, or failing to "send a message" to potential <b>boat</b> people.There is no doubt that the wider world, and probably, potential <b>boat</b> people, know how Australia and its client governments are treating <b>boat</b> people. From the wider world it is coming back to us, continually, in the form of bad international press, scarcely disguised disdain and difficult relations with countries with whom we would like to be good friends, such as Indonesia. That Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull now "owns" the problem with almost the same enthusiasm as his predecessor is a significant barrier to his ever being counted any sort of international statesman. Effective, and some think, deliberate institutional abuse of detainees is not of itself a moral justification for such abuse, even on some claim of being cruel to be kind. And in any event, for the desperate - the potential <b>boat</b> people - the important message they must receive is not that they will be punished (in contravention of international law) for taking a <b>boat</b>, but that doing so will be counterproductive, since it will serve to deny them refuge in Australia. Distance and bluster and blackguarding of "advocates" may serve to keep the issues at bay. But increasingly a public that can bear to know about our maltreatment intellectually, as long as it is not shoved in their face, are being forced to confront ample evidence of what is happening. It's a bit like the Northern Territory juvenile justice system story. There was never a secret that life is tough in the NT system, that many of the guards are as brutalised as those in their custody, and that politicians (and police, and the public) turn a blind eye to a punitive regime as long as they do not officially know</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">(or can claim they did not notice). Even sequences of reports, inquiries, criticisms and attempts to explain what is going on may not cause great ripples, especially if the reports are sober, fair- minded, somewhat academic in tone, and confined to paper, which apparently politicians do not much read much these days. That's the power of television. The Four Corners report showed actual physical abuse on tape. Right in your face. It excited an emotional reaction as much as an intellectual one. No effort to pretend that the problems of the system are exaggerated, or that the timing of the report was "political" - with an intention to damage the Country Liberal Party - can account for the shock or the need to be seen to be doing something. At least until everyone has forgotten when, one can be sure, the same old regime will be back, whether under a re-elected CLP government or, more likely, under a "reforming" Labor government that will not have the guts to take on prison officer unions. With Manus and Nauru, Labor can almost certainly afford to put on its concerned face and pretend to be shocked and surprised. Labor's concern will, of course, be laden with hypocrisy and not only because Labor set up the system, with conscious intimations of cruelty to come. It has always known exactly what has been going on. A substantial minority of the party openly hates the policy, but none have had the guts to repudiate it because of the fear of being wedged by the coalition. It has been, as ever, expediency over principle. But that it is Dastyari who is taking the opportunity to divide the <b>boat</b>-people policies is hardly insignificant. He's expediency and opportunism personified. But he does read (and have access to) polling data. In any event, Dutton seemed to be more going through the motions on Nauru. His department has been more than usually inept. No one can predict when it all blows up in the government's face, but the sense that it is coming is palpable. And, like moves to dismantle Manus, the timing and the explosive are not matters in the government's control. At least since the election (one might say at least since his election a year ago), Turnbull has seemed in a state of drift. He's not been shaping events. Not even anticipating them. The government is not setting the agenda or making things happen. There could hardly be better witness to that than the bungled decision to have a royal commission into NT juvenile justice. Has Turnbull a plan for the next stage of immigration policy? Assuming that, for the moment at least, government persists with the turn-back policies, what is the contingency planning for a loss of access to Manus, and/or the disaster in waiting with Nauru? If something happens will the government seem unprepared, unready and surprised?</p>

Even sequences of reports, inquiries, criticisms and attempts to explain what is going on may not cause great ripples, especially if the reports are sober, fair- minded, somewhat academic in tone, and confined to paper, which apparently politicians do not much read much these days. That's the power of television. The Four Corners report showed actual physical abuse on tape. Right in your face. It excited an emotional reaction as much as an intellectual one. No effort to pretend that the problems of the system are exaggerated, or that the timing of the report was "political" - with an intention to damage the Country Liberal Party - can account for the shock or the need to be seen to be doing something. At least until everyone has forgotten when, one can be sure, the same old regime will be back, whether under a re-elected CLP government or, more likely, under a "reforming" Labor government that will not have the guts to take on prison officer unions. With Manus and Nauru, Labor can almost certainly afford to put on its concerned face and pretend to be shocked and surprised. Labor's concern will, of course, be laden with hypocrisy and not only because Labor set up the system, with conscious intimations of cruelty to come. It has always known exactly what has been going on. A substantial minority of the party openly hates the policy, but none have had the guts to repudiate it because of the fear of being wedged by the coalition. It has been, as ever, expediency over principle. But that it is Dastyari who is taking the opportunity to divide the <b>boat</b>-people policies is hardly insignificant. He's expediency and opportunism personified. But he does read (and have access to) polling data. In any event, Dutton seemed to be more going through the motions on Nauru. His department has been more than usually inept. No one can predict when it all blows up in the government's face, but the sense that it is coming is palpable. And, like moves to dismantle Manus, the timing and the explosive are not matters in the government's control. At least since the election (one might say at least since his election a year ago), Turnbull has seemed in a state of drift. He's not been shaping events. Not even anticipating them. The government is not setting the agenda or making things happen. There could hardly be better witness to that than the bungled decision to have a royal commission into NT juvenile justice. Has Turnbull a plan for the next stage of immigration policy? Assuming that, for the moment at least, government persists with the turn-back policies, what is the contingency planning for a loss of access to Manus, and/or the disaster in waiting with Nauru? If something happens will the government seem unprepared, unready and surprised?</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Our national shame of using genuine refugees as human repellent to permanently deter <b>asylum</b> boats making their way to Australia has to stop.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For three years thousands of men, women and children have lived in a perpetual state of uncertainty, confined to Nauru under an indefinite detention regime we don’t even inflict on convicted criminals. Rapists and murderers at least know the terms of their ­confinement.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We are talking about families who have fled war-torn parts of the globe, 800 of whom have been formally assessed as genuine refugees (not economic refugees chasing a better life). Yet because Australia wants a strong deterrent to <b>boat</b> arrivals, they are being used as human repellent.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Fyodor Dostoevsky wrote: “The degree of civilisation in a ­society can be judged by entering its prisons.” The degree of civilisation in a society also can be judged by how it treats genuine refugees — not that we have taken responsibility for those coming here by <b>boat</b> (instead ­ex­porting the responsibility to ­off­shore locations), and not that any­one is allowed access where they are detained to verify claims of abuse.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">If the government is determined not to let these confirmed refugees settle here because of the means by which they came (settling them here is what John Howard ultimately did once the public glare had dimmed), then efforts to find another country that will take them must be a priority.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Confirmed refugees have ­languished in Nauru for three years and they still face an uncertain future. How long is long enough? Five years? Ten years? At what point do the ends no longer justify the means? Ends rarely justify means because it is the means that reflect who we are and what we are capable of.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">My concern isn’t for those who have had their <b>refugee</b> applications rejected yet refuse to go home. It is for genuine refugees.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It’s no wonder reports of abuse and mental health issues have continued to surface. Debate about whether some of these reports are genuine is a red herring designed to distract from the underlying reality that we are talking about a large cohort of broken human beings facing indefinite detention — innocent human beings whose only crime was the means by which they fled persecution. Think about that sentence for a moment; it’s an undisputed fact.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Finding them a safe country to settle in doesn’t have to mean placing them in a developed ­nation such as our own: <b>refugee</b> conventions don’t guarantee that ­degree of economic security. But it must be a signatory nation to the relevant <span class="companylink">UN</span> conventions to ensure refugees aren’t persecuted and treated like second-class citizens (the treatment they fled). Short of striking a deal with signatory nations we must have binding bilateral terms that ensure these refugees obtain equal rights wherever they end up.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Solving this despicable situation doesn’t need to be drawn into the polarising debate over how to “stop the boats”, or indeed whether the Coalition’s policy has succeeded. Whether those who oppose the government’s bor­der protection policies like it or not, it is a debate we have lost. Most Australians approve of tough rhetoric and hardline measures.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But the government’s mandate doesn’t include using genuine refugees as human repellent. It is the modern equivalent of mounting decapitated heads on pikes ar­ound a gated medieval city to ward off enemies. Any civilised ­society must repudiate such a strategy.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I happen to take the view that turning boats around doesn’t guarantee the safe passage of those aboard thereafter, wherever else they choose to go. We know next to nothing about how safe or otherwise genuine refugees on such boats are when they move off the radar of our border control services. But, yes, there are far fewer <b>asylum</b>-seekers in detention courtesy of the boats being stopped.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Do they instead stay in their unsafe homeland? What about those already in transit? Do they subsist in a non-signatory nation that doesn’t give them any rights to work, welfare or shelter? Who is to say that the much touted prevention of drownings at sea isn’t more a case of drownings elsewhere not being monitored? Do we know for certain that these genuine refugees don’t embark on equally or even more dangerous journeys elsewhere, never to be seen or heard from again?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Out of sight out of mind.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But this debate and where any of us stand on it shouldn’t be relevant to solving the problem of innocent genuine refugees being used as human repellent on Nauru. If <b>boat</b> turnbacks, temporary protection visas and guarantees that no one who comes here by <b>boat</b> will be settled in Australia are not enough to “stop the boats”, are we seriously prepared to use human souls as repellent to achieve the feat?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It is morally repugnant and I do not accept that the silent majority is comfortable endorsing such a strategy. Not when it is brought to their collective attention.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Whether the conditions are as bad as <b>refugee</b> advocates claim at facilities on Nauru or Manus Island (which is closing) or whether the conditions are adequate as the government claims is a separate debate. Whether the lack of transparency is acceptable, whether there should be an inquiry or a royal commission to investigate alleged abuses, also is not directly relevant to the need to find a home for these genuine refugees.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Even if they are being treated well and protected from abuse, even if the children are being well educated, with health needs looked after, that’s still not an ­excuse to keep refugees indefinitely detained to prevent other <b>boat</b> arrivals.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That was Howard’s view, which was why he quietly settled refugees on Nauru here or abroad. In contrast, the present government has rejected offers from New Zealand and Canada to help out, going so far as to suggest that if we settle these refugees in “nice places to live”, it will “put the sugar back on the table”, risking a surge in <b>boat</b> arrivals. Liberal Premier Colin Barnett has broken ranks, saying he will settle refugees in Western Australia if the government allows them entry.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As a simple matter of logic, we have good reason to doubt whether the conditions of genuine refugees living in Nauru, not to mention the now defunct Manus Island facility, are adequate. Not only because transparency is so limited but ­because for the human repellent to serve its purpose conditions can’t be desirable.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Indefinite detention combined with allegations of abuse and ­exploitation give the human ­repellent its sick lustre. We keep being told the government is working hard to settle these refugees in third countries, yet offers of help repeatedly are rejected. It can’t be allowed to continue.Peter van Onselen is a professor at the University of Western Australia.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A esop's foibles, or how government reacts to animal cruelty. Fable 1: NSW Premier Mike Baird dispatches the greyhound racing industry with alacrity in the belief owners killed nearly 70,000 dogs. Fable 2: Barnaby Joyce believes more <b>asylum</b> seekers arrived by <b>boat</b> after Australia suspended the Indonesian live cattle export trade. Bidda Jones, RSPCA Australia's chief scientist, blew the whistle on Indonesian abattoir workers hacking to death Australian cattle. It was early March 2011 when Jones walked into the ABC's Ultimo headquarters with a DVD. The footage, by <span class="companylink">Animals Australia</span> investigators, showed Australian cattle being dispatched with extreme prejudice at 11 Indonesian abattoirs. Jones had watched some 50 killings, replaying each one four times, sometimes in slow motion. One steer was hacked to oblivion after it stumbled. Death took more than three minutes to arrive. "The steer is thrashing his head, blood spraying from the gaping wound, as the slaughtermen move away, their job apparently complete," Jones writes in her co- authored book, Backlash: Australia's conflict of values over live exports. "The rope is untied from around the steer's neck, and the slaughterman puts his foot on the steer's head and makes more cuts at the steers throat. He vocalises in response, his eyes rolling, mouth moving and tongue hanging out." Two months later, when the footage was shown as part of an award- winning Four Corners program, A Bloody Business, the federal government briefly suspended the trade. Five years on, live cattle export is back bigger than ever in Indonesia, and Vietnam. China is the latest market to be targeted. Jones and her partner, novelist Julian Davies, have written Backlash partly as a counter to powerful interests they believe have successfully stymied the taste for reform of the live export trade that followed the national furore in 2011. "There was a lot of optimism that change would really happen," Jones says. "But things got slightly ahead of themselves. The hope that change will happen remains, but the people benefiting from the industry have got hold of the agenda and there has been a backlash. "The book is aimed at showing what happened, the extraordinary political back story, and dispel the</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">myths that have grown since about animal welfare." Only about 12 per cent of the giant Australian meat industry is involved in live export. There is little information on how much of that business is foreign-owned but it is a hugely costly undertaking, involving ships and overseas regulations. Jones and Davies are an unlikely pair to take on such powerful interests. They live with their two teenage daughters on a property outside Braidwood in the NSW southern tablelands. She was born in Liverpool in Britain and he was born in Melbourne. They met as children in England, got together in the 1990s and built their house on the block of land Davies had carved out of the bush for himself in his 20s. Spruiking their book, they agreed to meet at Cafe Morso in Pyrmont. She chose the corn and gruyere souffle tart with capsicum relish, poached egg and avocado, he selected the beetroot cured salmon. A working lunch, both went with water. A zoologist, Jones worked for the British RSPCA before coming to Australia. Several decades ago, when most people connected the RSPCA with cats and dogs, farm animal welfare remained a minority concern. When Peter Singer's book on the ethical treatment of animals was published in 1975, battery hens and sow pens were not yet public issues. Even so, the fate of live cattle is far from a new concern; the Howard government suspended sending live cattle to Egypt in 2006 after television footage showed mistreatment of the animals. And pity the poor sheep; they've been suffering poor conditions and high mortality on their way to the Middle East ever since the live sheep trade cranked up in the 1980s. Today, animal welfare is mainstream, but proponents are routinely dismissed as members of the "meat is murder" brigade. Jones chose to address such cliches: "Most Australians eat meat and will continue to. We're not fighting against that. What we're about is trying to ensure that those animals are treated as well as possible in that process. "In my work I meet a lot of people who are vegan or vegetarian and there's quite a lot of attention to ethical food concerns today, but I'm not vegetarian. It's partly because as a zoologist I've always thought that the idea that it is intrinsically wrong for an animal to eat another animal is unrealistic, if not slightly bizarre." Jones says she was amazed at the craven greed of the meat industry in chasing the Indonesian live export trade with little thought for the consequences for the animals or Australia's trade reputation. "There continue to be huge investments in live export ships unaccompanied by an improvement in standards so desperately needed," she says. "In Indonesia cattle are smaller, and highly domesticated ... our Brahman steers are large, frightening, frightened animals raised on</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">huge properties, free ranging and seeing people little more than once a year. Then, they are mustered, herded onto a <b>boat</b> and sent off to Indonesia to be slaughtered by people totally unused to handling such animals. We Australians created that situation." Davies says it is easy to understand the fear that reform engenders in meat producers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Living in the bush, he says, is to be constantly reminded of the stark realities of farm life. "It's tenuous and therefore quite hard to be punctilious about animal welfare when there is a constant fear of going broke," he says. "But this is exactly why we need to further a sustainable, high-quality, high-reputation, meat- only trade." Perhaps the Australian meat trade</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">has always been in the hands of the few. The days of Lord Vestey and Sidney Kidman may have passed but the sense of entitlement and the ethos the cattle kings fostered still rule. "The export industry is in the hands of a small band of multinational companies," Davies says. "They - the governments of Tony Abbott and Malcolm Turnbull - talk about the need to increase farm gate</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">prices but who are the main beneficiaries of live export? The people at the top of the pile are very wealthy people, people who don't want their wealth eroded by having to pay more to ensure the welfare of the animals they make money from." Davies says it would be far better if the government - primarily held back by the National Party flank - pushed for the slaughter to be done</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">in Australia and thereby ensure welfare standards while increasing employment in our own country. "[Nationals leader] Barnaby Joyce is talking about opening up the live trade to China," he says. "Chilled meat exports to China have rocketed as its middle class develops a taste for beef. But the Chinese want quality and don't like bad publicity. A scandal in the live</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">trade, like the sledge hammering slaughter of cattle in Vietnam, could destroy the large, lucrative chilled meat trade to China. "So what are we doing? We're risking shipping jobs off to China, when we have a successful, clean, ethical meat industry here. The powers that be want to undermine that by sending cattle off to China. Incredible."</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Urgent budget reform, a more truculent opposition and resurfacing social crises mean the prime minister is having to work harder just to stay ahead, writes Andrew Clark.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">
Malcolm Turnbull has been a journalist, author, lawyer, company secretary, corporate counsel, investment banker, campaigner for a republic, MP, Cabinet minister and now Prime Minister.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As he nudges the one year mark in the Lodge, Mr Turnbull is taking on a new role: full-time juggler. He's juggling three balls at once - a furious former Prime Minister Tony Abbott, razor-thin majority in Parliament, and a bleeding budget.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Like all jugglers the aim is to keep the balls in the air at the same time. The risk for Turnbull the juggler is that one ball - like, say, an angry Abbott - will hit the others and his show will end in ignominy and humiliation, with the audience jeering him off the stage.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On the other hand, if Turnbull gains confidence, he can climax the show by throwing the balls higher, unveil a final flourish, the balls disappear and the act ends in triumph and applause.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The official start to this juggling act took place when Turnbull gave the keynote address on Wednesday to a Committee for the Economic Development of Australia (CEDA) function in Melbourne this week.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Careful planning went into the speech, evidenced by the Prime Minister's media office providing lengthy extracts from the scheduled address to political journalists the day before. The extracts made clear what Turnbull was on about: achieving consensus in a potentially unruly new Parliament over the need for "budget repair".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">So he was starting the juggling act by dealing with just two balls - the Coalition's razor-thin majority in Parliament, and the bleeding budget.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The choice of CEDA was also no accident.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Locally, CEDA is independent of government, business and academe, but aims to harness the talents of the best and the brightest from all three in promoting Australia as a successful, market-based economy.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">So CEDA's place in Australian public life suits a centrist like Malcolm Turnbull. His political survival depends on securing a CEDA-style, wide-ranging consensus among key players - politicians, business figures and academics.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This is the consensus where the budget is brought back into balance by a combination of spending cuts and tax increases and the economy is transitioned to hi-tech and export-oriented services.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As Turnbull told the CEDA lunch, "the Australian people will expect all of us - government, Opposition and cross benches - to make the parliament they have elected work for them."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He reminded his audience of Opposition leader Bill Shorten's commitment to be "constructive".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">According to the Prime Minister, "a genuine commitment" to bipartisan support for what he called a "responsible approach to the Budget" can help deliver "positive results" and "we will take him up on that".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Beyond the rhetoric on both sides, the reality is that at this point Turnbull and Shorten are jockeying for position as they prepare for the first post July 2 election parliamentary sitting at the end of this month.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Turnbull's parliamentary-cum-budget position may not be as parlous as it looks. Hard-heads in the Labor camp are advising Shorten to allow through the $6 billion in budget cuts the government is proposing, on the grounds that it will give Labor more fiscal "room" if it's returned to power.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Not that Labor expects to return to the Treasury benches any time soon. Once again, it's the ALP's hard-heads who are advising that Turnbull's one-seat majority in the House of Representatives (after the appointment of a Speaker) is misleading.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They argue he has an additional effective buffer of at least two seats, with Coalition-leaning independents like Bob Katter and Cathy McGowan, while the other three lower house independents have no particular reason to want an early election.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Meanwhile, speculation about an early election is thick on the ground, but many in the Labor camp believe it will be two-three years off.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Of course another Coalition Party Room boilover could prematurely pole-axe this scenario, just as Turnbull's CEDA speech in Melbourne on Wednesday was almost pole-axed when a protester stormed the stage. Holding a sign that read "FFS close the bloody camps", the protester made it to within metres of Turnbull.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">So the third ball, Tony Abbott, or at least part of his legacy - a tough line on refugees arriving off Australia's shores on boats - has already intruded on the Turnbull post-election political recovery plan.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Of course the government's hard-line offshore detention approach for refugees arriving by <b>boat</b> has Labor support. But it's a policy that has Abbott's name, and those of his conservative supporters inside the Liberal Party, written all over it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Interestingly, Abbott recently accepted that the Opposition he led had been wrong in blocking Labor's "Malaysia Solution" to the <b>refugee</b> crisis when Julia Gillard was Prime Minister.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Under the plan which was designed to have the same effect as turning back boats, 800 <b>boat</b> arrivals would be flown back to Malaysia as a deterrent. Labor offered the Coalition to re-open the Nauru detention centre, look at reintroducing temporary protection visas, and expand Australia's humanitarian <b>refugee</b> intake by 4000.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Abbott now says the Coalition allowing the plan to proceed "would have been a step back from the hyper-partisanship that now poisons our public life".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">His remarks can be read as an act of genuine contrition. But they can also be refracted through a Liberal Party leadership proxy war that has been simmering just below the surface in the wake of Turnbull blasting Abbott out of the prime ministership on September 14 last year.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There are many fronts in this war, ranging from a conservative push to unseat a moderate faction controlling the Party's NSW branch to the campaign to amend the law against racial vilification based on a "free speech" argument.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">One senior Liberal Party figure, who enjoys a classic insider's perspective on the proxy war, likens the Abbott forces to a duck crossing a pond. On the surface it looks calm, but under the water it is furiously thrashing around with its feet.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Like so many in the Liberal Party, this figure is convinced that Tony Abbott is determined to reclaim the Liberal Party leadership position from Turnbull, just as he did in another party room boilover on December 1, 2009.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">So it looks like Malcolm will be juggling for some time. P</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">UWA PUBLISHING, $24.99</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">If Shelley was right that poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world, and the laws they enunciate are the laws we will be judged by, then Australia should be fearful of their judgment of our treatment of refugees. Dan Disney and Kit Kelen are both Australian poets, and they have put together an anthology about our policy of detention (now mandatory offshore detention) since Kevin Rudd's infamous formulation (upheld by both sides of politics) that no <b>refugee</b> arriving by <b>boat</b>, however legitimate their claims, will ever be granted <b>asylum</b> on Australian soil.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Which is why at the time of Rudd's furniture-saving resurrection, some people felt obliged to vote once more for the Greens because they couldn't, in conscience, endorse the persecutors of the wretched of the earth.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">How strange it is that, when UKIP's Nigel Farage was asked about Australia's policy on border protection, he said it was too harsh. Now, in a Brexit world, with German Chancellor Angela Merkel's promise to take all the refugees from Syria looking perilous, we seem to have led the world in our fierceness to repel the invader.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">
<span class="companylink">Disney</span> and Kelen include poems by people who seek <b>asylum</b> in Australia. This, by N.H. reads like a flattened, modern translation of one of the Psalms: "I am among people who cannot believe / I have been dead for years now... / O God, I was your servant / and I still am your servant / but this is not what your servant deserves. / O God can you pause your world. / My body is willing to stay in this slaughter house." /</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And while we invoke great poetry of affliction in our own tradition, the Hebrew one, Lisa Jacobson reminds us of why we signed that <span class="companylink">UNHCR</span> convention about the right to <b>asylum</b> that we violate. In her The Jews of Hamburg Speak Out she gives voice to those refugees from Hitler no port would take.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"To all those who seek <b>asylum</b>, do not think / we have forgotten you / ... we were thin with hope like you, / sallow with stars... / The doors clanged shut, the inns all full; the same old story / at port after port. / Our ship... / sailing east towards the death camps of home, / whose gates swung open to receive us."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That Voyage of the Damned on SS St Louis in 1939 was the ultimate triumph of turning back the boats.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Writing to the Wire contains Australian poets of every artistic alignment saying what they think of our <b>asylum</b> seeker policy. Geoff Page uses traditional form to dramatise national hypocrisy.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Illegals, would-be saboteurs, / leap-froggers of the queue, / you middle-class and midnight sneaks / with smuggle-boats and crew, / your Tropic Idyll's wired-and-waiting. / Eternity's the key. / Our crocodiles cry once a week / When you are Lost at Sea."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And Fay Zwicky uses one of the most buoyant of <b>boat</b> songs to devastating effect. "Speed, bonnie <b>boat</b>, like a bird on a wing / 'Onward', the seekers cry; / Speed, you will not, but sink like a stone /Down on the seabed lie."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Others invoke Advance Australia Fair with its boundless plains to share and John Tranter sketches a deity of utterly Australian complacency. And then there's the fierce rhetoric of Mark Tredinnick.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Each of us comes like this, / and just as far, / across the hungry infernal sea / In a nameless distempered <b>boat</b>, / from somewhere we used to think we belonged ..."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The recently shifted shadow minister of the arts, Tony Burke - the man who oversaw Rudd's non passaran initiative in Papua New Guinea - once told me he was a devoted reader of poetry. This grim, eloquent collection of testaments might also repay the attention of the nephew-in-law of the author of The Fatal Shore.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Of course, this is an anthology that collects the outpourings on this subject of that fraction of the elites who are furthest from the governing class. Poets tend to be poor, dispossessed, insecure and unbalanced: they just happen to be the people by whom, through whom, and in whom, the language lives.</p>

That’s as far as the laughs go, though, because the cover girl is Brownie Wise. Brownie devised the home parties direct-selling policy, which sent sales of the <span class="companylink">Tupperware</span> storage range soaring, first in 1950s Florida and then the kitchens of the world. Brownie teamed up with entrepreneur Earl Tupper, who had found a use for the waste left behind in plastics manufacturing but was struggling to sell the resulting goods. She solved the problem by creating a network of women agents who were rewarded for selling the stuff in their own loungerooms. She had the gift of the gab, one company executive recalled. Unfortunately, too much gab between Brownie and her equally obdurate boss saw their working relationship go down the sink in 1957. Within weeks she had been dismissed and Tupper expunged the First Lady of Tupperware’s part in the company’s meteoric rise with the totality of a Soviet purge. Kealing’s book is hard work at times but ultimately rewarding — much like you’d imagine one of Brownie’s parties to be.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">LITTLE WARRIOR GIUSEPPE CATOZZELLA ALLEN & UNWIN, $28 In the midst of the Olympics, and with the issue of <b>asylum</b> seekers and human trafficking constantly making headlines, it’s timely to revisit the heartwarming, heartbreaking true tale of Somalian athlete Samia Omar. Omar won hearts at 17 at the 2008 Beijing Games when she competed in the 200m sprint and, in true Olympic fashion, won huge applause despite finishing a distant last in her heat. Omar defied the multiple barriers she faced growing up in war-torn Mogadishu, along with restrictions on women athletes imposed by Islamic fundamentalist groups, to pursue her dream of representing Somalia at the Olympics. That meant training in Mogadishu’s dilapidated stadium in darkness, running in a hijab and risking her life on streets overrun with militants to complete her basic training regimen. Her single-mindedness and seeming lack of fear saw her father nickname her “Little Warrior”. After her father was killed at the hands of militants and with her family struggling to survive under suffocating conditions in Mogadishu, with a heavy heart Omar placed her life in the hands of people traffickers to keep her Olympic dreams alive in Europe. But a harrowing, dangerous journey awaited, far more challenging than any Olympic event. Italian author Giuseppe Catozzella adds a human face to the <b>asylum</b>-seeker debate with his award-winning novel, closely based on Omar’s life and traumatic journey. Sports buffs who followed Omar’s story after Beijing may already know the shocking ending.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">THE WONDER TRAIL STEVE HELY BLACK INC., $33 “Wherever you go in the world you will find Australians being preposterous. I love them.” US comedy writer Steve Hely (of 30 Rock, The Office and American Dad fame) meets all manner of bizarre people, animals and insects during his three-month journey from Los Angeles to the southernmost tip of South America. On the way he samples grasshopper ice cream in Mexico and marshmallows toasted in the sulfurous crack of a Guatemalan volcano, and watches monkeys beg for Pringles by the Panama Canal. He encounters many potential hazards, not least from the catalogue of drugs readily available. These range from the ho-hum to the hell-no, the latter category headed by a hallucinogenic drink, ayahuasca, which produces alarming vomiting. Hely’s quirky observations are a delight. Near Peru’s ancient Inca capital, Cusco, he spots a few stray llamas and a few stray German tourists, finding both creatures odd but friendly and harmless; he warns that any exposed body part in the Amazon will get it bitten and if you don’t see the bugs then guess where they are; and he reckons the average Nicaraguan woman is sexier washing her shoes than the average American is having sex. But Aussies are his favourite. He says they share with him a hope the world is wonderful and ridiculous and to be enjoyed. Much like his book.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">WHEN MICHAEL MET MINA RANDA ABDEL-FATTAH PAN AUSTRALIA, $19 I loved this young adult love story and both my head and my heart were moved by it. It’s warm and funny, sometimes bleak, but mainly sweet, and it has a wonderful cast of believable characters. The first time Michael notices Mina is at a rally for refugees. Michael is on one side arguing against <b>boat</b> people, Mia is there to support them. They are polar opposites. Michael is a privileged white kid who goes to a private school on Sydney’s North Shore. His parents founded the political party Aussie Values. Mina is a <b>refugee</b> from Afghanistan who wins a scholarship to Michael’s school. To support Mia’s education, her family is moving from the multicultural western suburbs to the North Shore, a place Mia calls “Pretentiousville”. Both Mia and Michael have strong preconceived ideas about the type of person the other is. And both have to learn to question those beliefs. Essentially, it’s a love story set against the backdrop of racism and multiculturalism — from the ugly and intentional to the thoughtless. This is not a tidy us-and-them argument; there are nuances that give the story great credibility. The quality of storytelling makes this modern Aussie teen romance so thoroughly enjoyable. Abdel-Fattah has written nine books including Does My Head Look Big in This and Ten Things I Hate About Me.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Last week, Mr Abbott accepted that the opposition he led in 2011 had been wrong to block Labor legislating to overturn a High Court ban on its proposed Malaysia plan, saying it represented the "hyper-partisanship that now poisons our public life".</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">At the time, Mr Morrison was shadow immigration minister and he led the charge against helping Labor. Following Mr Abbott's mea culpa, Mr Morrison, now Treasurer, told Sky News on Thursday: "I acted in accordance with my leader's instructions."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Abbott disagreed, telling The Australian Financial Review: "It was a team decision and it was a line-ball call."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After the plan was blocked by the Greens and the Coalition, both of which had the individual numbers to pass the laws, the surge of boats increased. Another 600 people died.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Under the plan that was designed to have the same effect as turning back boats, 800 <b>boat</b> arrivals would be flown back to Malaysia as a deterrent.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor offered the Coalition to re-open Nauru, look at reintroducing temporary protection visas and expand the humanitarian <b>refugee</b> intake by 4000.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Then-Labor prime minister Julia Gillard accused the opposition of wanting the boats to keep coming because it suited the Coalition politically.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Abbott said last week even though he doubted the plan would have worked "letting it stand would have been an acknowledgement of the government of the day's mandate to do the best it could, by its own lights, to meet our nation's challenges".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"It would have been a step back from the hyper-partisanship that now poisons our public life," he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">One conservative said Mr Morrison was being unfair to Mr Abbott given it was such decisions that helped build his career inside the Liberal Party.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Morrison also drove another nail in the coffin of plans by conservative rebels to rekindle a push to amend or scrap section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act. Mr Abbott dropped the push when he was prime minister following a backlash from moderate MPs and ethnic groups, as well as a fear it would alienate Muslims.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Abbott also said in his speech last week that he should have tried to amend the section rather than repeal it but he concluded that now, "there's no real prospect of change".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Liberal senator Cory Bernardi, with the support of a clutch of colleagues and Senate crossbenchers, plans to introduce a private member's bill when Parliament resumes. It has no chance of passing and Mr Morrison said it was not a priority.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"It doesn't help me reverse the deficit, it doesn't help me pay back the debt, it doesn't help me get one extra person in a job and it doesn't lead to one extra company investing in Australia so you can appreciate that it is not at the top of my list," Mr Morrison said.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After the High Court ruled its first incarnation was invalid, the Labor government had sought opposition or Greens support to pass enabling legislation in the Senate. Both refused.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The arrangement agreed with the Malaysian government would have seen a random selection of up to 800 <b>asylum</b> seekers who had arrived by <b>boat</b> transported to Malaysia in exchange for Australia settling 4000 accredited refugees.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The government was acting in accordance with the best advice from the Department of Immigration, which said the scheme would act like a "virtual towback".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Citing that advice, Labor argued <b>asylum</b> seekers could not be sure of staying even if they overcame all of the perils of a long sea voyage and made it to the mainland. Some would end up back where they had started, having lost the thousands of dollars paid to people smugglers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Yet despite strenuous government pleas at the time and significant concessions sought and granted, the Abbott opposition remained defiant, condemning the arrangement outright as ineffective and inhuman. A succession of Liberals welled with tears as they spoke of children suffering and of conveying to relatives news of family members lost at sea.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Yet some 582 boats carrying 38,890 souls came to Australia in the aftermath of the Malaysian deal's demise, resulting in far more suffering and perhaps more than 600 <b>asylum</b>-seeker drownings from vessels that failed to make it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Last week, Mr Abbott stunned the political community by admitting the decision to block the Malaysian proposal may have been a mistake. He told a forum in Adelaide that even though he still had doubts about whether it could have worked, its frank rejection had exacerbated the hyper-partisanship in those years and that such an atmosphere persisted to this day.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Responding to Mr Morrison's most recent comments, a spokesman for Mr Abbott denied the suggestion that the then opposition leader had given orders to his hardline immigration spokesman. "The speech didn't say that our decision on the people swap was wrong; it said it had been a line-ball call," he said. "And like all policy decisions, it was a team effort."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The airing of this difference is the latest expression of deep tensions between the conservatives loyal to Mr Abbott on the one hand and Mr Morrison, whom they accuse of abandoning the former prime minister.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But Australian taxpayers will pay the accommodation costs of refugees who will stay in PNG for at least several more years.

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The meeting came as it emerged that a second boatload of Sri Lankan <b>asylum</b>-seekers had been intercepted attempting to make a voyage to Australia, when a <b>boat</b> was found by the Sri Lankan navy with 18 people on board on Monday. A <b>boat</b> with six on board was intercepted by Australian authorities this month and the passengers returned to Sri Lanka.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He said the only two options for the detainees were resettlement in PNG or to return to their country of origin, saying it was critical for those in the facility to “hear this message very clearly” given the influence of <b>refugee</b> ­activists in Australia.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I think it’s a great announcement because we’ve been able to close 17 detention centres down here on the mainland in Australia.

And I think that’s a good outcome.” Mr Dutton said Australia had returned six Sri Lankans without revealing where they were intercepted, whether those on board had applied for <b>asylum</b> or were ­assessed for <b>refugee</b> status, and how they were returned. “Australia has returned a group of Sri ­Lankan ­nationals to Sri Lanka (on Tuesday) after recently intercepting a people smuggling venture,” the minister said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On Monday, the Sri Lankan navy apprehended 18 <b>asylum</b>- seekers 40 nautical miles out to sea from the port of Valaich­chenai. They were onboard a fishing vessel named Blue Star.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Sri Lankan lawyer Lakshan Dias said he would soon be visiting the 18 <b>asylum</b>-seekers, now in jail.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Dias expected more Sri Lankans to attempt the journey because it could be done relatively cheaply without resorting to paying people-smugglers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He said “one person will take care of the fuel, one person will take charge of the food, and one person will take charge of the other necessities” and they will pool their money and “pay a skipper” as little as $5000 to take them.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They raise the money “by mortgaging their motorbike or their land … it is very low-cost.”“It is only three or four months’ living costs ... for that person to try a good life or run away from ­danger,” Mr Dias said.</p>

So ruthlessly were they applied that Labor MP Craig Thomson was denied a pair to go home for the birth of his child. Mr Abbott and his chief tactician Christopher Pyne only relented after members of their own backbench called for reason.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor MP Michelle Rowland was initially denied a pair when she needed to get back to Sydney to be with her sick baby. Even then, she was forced to produce a medical certificate.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In 2011, arts minister Simon Crean was not allowed to attend the state memorial for Margaret Olley.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This week, four Liberal ministers - Scott Morrison, Kelly O'Dwyer, Barnaby Joyce and Dan Tehan - distanced themselves from those tactics.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Joyce said politicians must be "realistic and decent" in how they treat each other.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"If those decisions were made, then I think those decisions were also wrong - there you go - and so I don't think two wrongs are ever going to make a right," he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Morrison said he was disappointed Labor was "engaged in what seems to be a very uncooperative and a very unhelpful way to go into the next Parliament".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I think Australians are sick of all that. They are sick of that."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">None protested when the tactics were used against the Gillard government, including Mr Morrison who, as shadow immigration minister, was pivotal in blocking Labor's desperate plea to introduce the Malaysia plan to try to stop the flow of <b>asylum</b> seekers by <b>boat</b>.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Last Friday, Mr Abbott conceded that decision was motivated by "hyper-partisan politics".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A "pair" means that if an MP cannot be in Parliament for reason of illness or ministerial duties, then the other side will absent one of their own from a vote so as to not disadvantage the other side numerically.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In the new Parliament, the Coalition has 75 members on the floor, Labor 69 and there are five on the crossbench. The 76th Coalition MP, Tony Smith, will be in the Speaker's chair.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">When he has a break, it will have to be another Coalition MP in his place.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This means every time Labor and the crossbench oppose the government, Mr Turnbull has just a one-vote majority. If a Coalition MP or minister is absent and not paired, it makes things very tight.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It could lead to situations where the Speaker either has to use his or her casting vote or, if there is more than one absence, the government could lose a vote on the floor.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">If a situation arose where the government was down two votes, Labor and the crossbench could rush through a motion calling for a royal commission into the banks. With the support of the crossbench, it would pass.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor leader Bill Shorten said the party would not be as "petty" or "spiteful" as the Coalition. But instances in which a pair would be granted would be rare.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"If there is a family emergency, the birth of a child, well of course, that's a perfectly good reason, but if all of a sudden Mr Turnbull wants us to dance to his tune and he has got a Liberal MP making a political speech and it suits the Liberal Party's political agenda, they need to sort that out," he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Manager of opposition business Tony Burke said if Mr Turnbull wants to acknowledge he does not have a working majority, "then there's a conversation to be had".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Otherwise, Labor would be playing hardball.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">
Malcolm Turnbull had been urged to convene a summit to consider ways to end the ordeal of about 2000 <b>asylum</b> seekers who have been in limbo on Nauru and Manus Island for more than three years.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">More than 1800 academics, including experts who have advised Coalition and Labor governments on <b>refugee</b> policy, have backed the call, as has the president of the Human Rights Commission, Professor Gillian Triggs.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The academics say the scale of suffering on both remote islands demands a new approach based on regional co-operation that rejects the "binary choice" that only a hardline policy of deterrence will prevent deaths at sea.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They have endorsed a policy paper calling for an end to the "harmful policies of offshore processing, <b>boat</b> turnbacks and the mandatory detention of people seeking <b>asylum</b>" - policies also embraced by Labor.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The push comes amid warnings from Jesuit priest Frank Brennan and others that the current arrangements are a "recipe for human disaster" and calls for the government to set a timetable for finding third countries to resettle those on Nauru and Manus or bring them to Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"We've seen over years now a continuing deterioration in the way that <b>asylum</b> seekers are dealt with and some of the tragic consequences, including self-immolations, suicides and suicide attempts," says one of the academics, Professor Harry Minas, director of the Centre for International Mental Health at Melbourne University.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Professor Minas said that after two decades of the general population being taught to be fearful of <b>asylum</b> seekers, "there may be the beginnings of a shift in the way people are thinking about these things".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"It's time to go back, ask what are our national objectives, what are our legal responsibilities and whether we are discharging our ethical and moral obligations to people who are very vulnerable and look for a better way of doing these things," he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Called A Just and Humane Approach for Refugees, the paper argues that the treatment of <b>asylum</b> seekers on Nauru and Manus is in breach of the international prohibition on cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment. It also laments that Australia has routinely denied people seeking <b>asylum</b> who are in the community on bridging visas the right to work and to adequate healthcare.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">With Robert Manne, Tim Costello and John Menadue, Father Brennan has proposed that the government maintain the turn-back policy, keep the offshore centres in reserve, but settle those on Nauru and Manus in Australia or other developed countries.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Father Brennan told Sky News it was better to risk some boats attempting to bring <b>asylum</b> seekers to Christmas Island now "than in six months' time, when Nauru blows apart".</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">At the age of 16, Mlisho Karega ran for his life. He fled Congo's civil war by <b>boat</b> with his nine-year-old brother and then spent three years in a "miserable" <b>refugee</b> camp in Tanzania. He won't talk about what happened to the rest of his family. "Itis too sad," he said. But in a rundown house in the camp, with a plastic sheet for a roof, he dreamt of becoming a doctor. "Everything changed when I got a chance to come here," the now 26-year-old said. Mlisho, who was granted a humanitarian visa to come to Australia in 2009, makes up a small but increasing proportion ofuniversity graduates and students who are from <b>refugee</b> backgrounds. Immigration Minister Peter Dutton provoked a backlash in May claiming "illiterate and innumerate" refugees would take Australian jobs. But new <span class="companylink">University of Melbourne</span> research reveals that the number of students from <b>refugee</b> backgrounds has more than doubled in recent years, swelling from 1687 students in 2009 to 3506 in 2014. These students face unique challenges. Many have experienced trauma, forced migration,</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">loss of family and disrupted schooling, according to the Melbourne <b>Refugee</b> Studies Program's report. Mlisho didn't speak English when he arrived in Australia and moved into a modest Sunshine house with his brother. He enrolled in an English course at Victoria University and juggled assignments with being a parent to his brother. He has since completed a diploma and bachelor of nursing - receiving a distinction average - and now works as a registered nurse at Sunshine Hospital. Every day at 4am Mlisho's light flicks on and he starts poring over medicine and nursing textbooks. He still dreams of becoming a doctor. "I believe education is everything. I believe if you stop studying, you start dying. If life knocks you down, try to land on your back." One of the report's authors, Les Terry, said many humanitarian refugees arrived in Australia with high education levels and had successful careers in their former homes. The report found that while some universities had changed their curriculum and created pathways for <b>refugee</b> students, others needed to become more accommodating. "When you meet these people, what stands out is that despite having experienced trauma, persecution, and even loss of family, they see education as a way of reclaiming their lives, not just for their own sake, but as a means of making a future contribution to the larger Australian community," Dr Terry said. The report found a higher proportion of students with a <b>refugee</b> background had taken up studies in health and engineering than the national average. It also found more female students with a <b>refugee</b> background had taken up degrees, with close to equal numbers of male and female students from Myanmar, Iraq and Iran. It also found <b>refugee</b> students were more likely to be older. But Dr Terry said the overall number was still small, and many universities needed to do more to encourage students of <b>refugee</b> backgrounds to enrol. The report raised concerns about the plight of <b>asylum</b> seekers who held temporary humanitarian visas and wanted to study. "Despite the positive efforts of a number of university administrations to support these students through such initiatives as short- term humanitarian scholarships, this highly vulnerable group of potential students are not able to advance their education in any formal way at the higher education level, except under the inappropriate and costly 'international student' category," the report said.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It is 2am, six months into her young husband’s deployment to Afghanistan. The two are talking on FaceTime. They connect almost every night.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But this chat is different to the others.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It is 8.30pm in Tarin Kowt. One moment Trisha is telling Private Nathan Roberts their baby son is sleeping through the night; the next there is a loud bang, then bomb sirens wailing through her speakers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On her screen, she can see Nathan’s computer has been knocked to the ground. There is yelling and dusty army boots scuffling past the camera, crooked at foot level. Then silence. Except for that siren.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Nathan and the others in the room have dashed to a bomb shelter. A few minutes pass, then Trisha switches off her computer. If her husband is about to be killed, she doesn’t want to witness the explosion that will take him.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">She is wide awake now. Soaked with dread. Half an hour passes. Her video messages pip again.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It is Nathan. He apologises for the hasty exit.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“It happens almost every day,” he tells her. “No need to worry.” Nathan wasn’t on the front line in this war. He didn’t patrol enemy territory. He was 25 then and a storeman in the Australian Army. Yet he was never completely out of danger. It was Afghanistan. They all knew nowhere was safe.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But when his tour ended, Nathan was a broken soldier. And nobody had warned Trisha that the war might follow him home.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">FOURTEEN weeks and four days ago, Private Nathan Roberts took his own life. He was 28.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He had already tried six times. Some of them were serious attempts. He’d had many admissions to Townsville’s military hospital.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Trisha says Nathan shared hospital wards with soldiers having wisdom teeth extracted and broken bones mended.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The place didn’t seem set up to deal with the serious mental illness and injury that was threatening (and was to take) Nathan’s life.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And when he was home, Nathan’s condition was something that Trisha — with a new baby to add to her three other children — was not equipped to nurse. Not one bit.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In Darwin two years earlier, Bonny Perry was just as desperate for answers. Her husband, Flight Sergeant Andrew “Mung” Perry, was one of those strong military types whom everyone respected.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He was a sharp shooter. His juniors looked up to him. His seniors knew they could trust him. And he’d switch to class clown when his men needed it. He was in the RAAF, an airman of 24 years.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">CONTINUED NEXT PAGE FROM PREVIOUS PAGE When he was deployed to Afghanistan in 2013, he was team lead sniper. He had 82 troops under his direct command. Together, their job was to secure the Tarin Kowt air base.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Bonny remembers Mung’s calls home to her. “What was killing him on the inside was the fear of someone dying on his watch,” she says. “He was petrified of having to make that call to someone’s mother to say her son had been killed.” Mung was living on four hours’ sleep a night. He was micromanaging and he was caving under the pressure. He came home early to Darwin airport, under escort. They were worried even then that he was suicidal.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The man Bonny welcomed home was not the one she had farewelled seven months earlier. He’d lost so much weight he needed a new wardrobe of clothes. He was distant, depressed and anxious.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Now he was back, she didn’t know what to do with him. She’d been in the RAAF for years, herself, but this was new. And there was no support for her, a wife handed the complicated job of putting Mung back together.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The RAAF tried to keep him working for nine hours a week. But his fragile state meant he couldn’t work in the armoury. Bonny reflects it did more harm than good.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mung became an airman without a purpose. A sniper without a gun. At his funeral, tough military men cried. They mourned the loss of their fallen colleague. But it was more than that. Where would this end?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">One highly ranked officer who spoke at the funeral said what they were all thinking: “If it can happen to Mung, it can happen to anyone.” THESE things are never simple. Every man and woman prepared to sacrifice their life for their country takes with them their own set of strengths.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Australian Defence Force recruits them and trains them to be some of the most revered military people in the world. They go off to war and live through battle, spend months on high alert. Sometimes they kill. It’s so the rest of us back home don’t have to.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Jenkins family, it is fair to say, is doing its bit for Australia. Sue and Peter have three sons. Their youngest is considering joining up. In mid-February, they farewelled their oldest son, deployed in the army to the Middle East. It was his first tour.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But less than a week before that, they laid to rest their middle boy, Shaun. Shaun will be forever 24. He passed away from suicide, when he was still serving, in Townsville on January 31.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The man who came home from Afghanistan in 2014 after seven months was different to the one who went away. He returned with memories that he couldn’t shake.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">One that kept returning was an accident in a Bushmaster armoured vehicle he was driving. The road collapsed under the vehicle and they plummeted 50m down a cliff.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They were all injured, at least one of them seriously. It wasn’t Shaun’s fault, but he blamed himself for his mates’ injuries.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder after he returned to Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Sue and Peter noticed he was more withdrawn.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We tried to reach out to him. But he wasn’t reaching out to us for help. He wasn’t prepared to talk about it,” Sue says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They are desperate to get the message out there: PTSD isn’t a weakness. Veterans who are hurting are not alone.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“These guys need mandatory psych tests, then follow-up psych tests. They should attend seminars, with support people who need to know what to look for. And an organised buddy system,” Sue says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We need to try harder because we can’t lose any more, and the people who need the help most aren’t in the position to help themselves.” “James” also kept his experiences close to his chest. He didn’t let on to his country town family what he had lived through.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He was the 25th ex-military man whose family the Sunday <span class="companylink">Herald</span> Sun contacted in this investigation. He died in the past two years from suicide.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">His dad, “Ross”, didn’t want James drawn into this story. It was clearly hurting him.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Ross is on the phone, quietly listening to the statistics. As of that day, he is told, 27 ex-service men and women have died by suicide this year.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It surprises him, how many come home from war and end their military service psychologically damaged.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He interjects, with the command of a man who also used to serve: “Thanks, but the military made a man out of my son. His problems were about money and women. He wasn’t even properly deployed.” Properly deployed. So did he serve overseas? “It was only East Timor,” says Ross. “There was no real action. Plus, it was a long time ago.” James, it turns out, was in the first wave of Australia’s involvement in East Timor. In the weeks after the conversation with Ross, the Sunday <span class="companylink">Herald</span> Sun spoke to two veterans deployed with James in Operation Astute in 2006.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For weeks, the troops were wired, primed for action.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Part of their work was to mop up after the slaughter of innocents caught in the turmoil.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">If Ross knew this, he might have thought differently of his son. It’s common for returned soldiers’ relationships to break down. It is not unusual to take 10 or 15 years for them to hit the low ebb.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But James doesn’t appear to have told his dad any of this. Veterans regularly shield their closest from the things they see. So when families have the chance to help, they can’t.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And when their sons and daughters are gone, they don’t know why. JASMIN Carmel wishes she knew before what she knows now. Of course, she still has three sons, she says. But only two are left.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Jarrad Brown was her oldest boy. He was good-looking and tall with broad shoulders when he went off to war. He was protective of his mum.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">She, like most of the families, would prefer to privately grieve her boy. But she speaks out, knowing Jarrad would want it. If it saves one family from the pain she’s lived since he left, then it’s worth it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Jarrad was a respected corporal. He went to Iraq in 2007 and Afghanistan in 2010. Jasmin remembers her pre-teen son watching the TV when the Twin Towers crashed down in 2001. It ultimately led to his service in the Middle East.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He told his mum very little of war. Just light stuff. “He didn’t want to worry me.” But things over there were serious.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In July 2010, Jarrad was pallbearer to one of the 41 Australian soldiers who died on Afghan soil. Private Nathan Bewes was killed by an improvised explosive device.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The two were close friends in a tight-knit group of about 12. The two men trained together for six months in pre-deployment. And they spent time on the ground over there.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Jarrad was back in Australia, working fly-in fly-out in Port Hedland, WA. The mining companies like employing veterans: they are used to living away from family, they work hard and they do what they’re told.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">When he returned to Queensland on weeks off, he seemed quiet. “I saw it in his eyes. ‘I’m all right, mum,’ he’d say. Then deflect attention to other people,” Jasmin recalls.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He wasn’t all right. But Jasmin didn’t know what to do. She didn’t know he was so traumatised that he would take his own life. He passed away on December 5 last year.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Jarrad may have set foot back in Australia, in a way that his mate Private Bewes did not. Still, everybody agrees, the war took them both.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We can’t lose any more. They bring them back to us and we have to fix them. We don’t have that training,” Jasmin says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I plead with these men and women, if they are hurting, to reach out for help. “There are places, but you have to reach out.” VETERANS aren’t rich, but they’re generous. Everybody wants to help. People start counting the ex-service organisations designed to support veterans and they give up at 200.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Online Facebook volunteers scour hundreds of ex-military pages for suicidal men and women.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Some of these welfare volunteers stay connected far into the night. Many are battling their own PTSD.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They have a name for the distress messages: Last Posts.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Overwatch Australia is an online infantry battalion set up to react to people in crisis. One of the founders, Mark Kirwan, says the group now acts on 300 Last Posts each year.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He describes one occasion. Someone saw a post on Australian Warfighters’ page. He was getting his affairs in order and planning to “check out” in two days. “We made inquiries. We couldn’t get a person on his doorstep within 30 minutes, so we called the police to do a welfare check. He’s still with us,” Mark says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">CONTINUED NEXT PAGE FROM PREVIOUS PAGE “There is no doubt in my mind that if it wasn’t for these calls, the number of ex-service suicides each year would be much higher.” Nick and Karen Forster-Jones see their own share of troubled veterans. They’re among the hundreds — from large, well-funded organisations to individuals — trying to help fill cracks that our veterans are falling into. Scores turn up on weekends to help at their Diggers Rest in the Sunshine Coast hinterland.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A cluster of little units and camping patches is growing as former servicemen and women, and their families, head out to help. And, mostly, to recuperate.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Jasmin sometimes pitches a tent in the Diggers Rest clearing. There, she sheds tears for her son. At night, she sits by the communal campfire. It’s a place where things can go unsaid but are deeply understood.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Nearby is a veteran going back and forth on a ride-on mower. Work at the place is as much for therapy as it is to help create this oasis for troubled military minds.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In six months, more than 300 veterans and their family members came through. The place is relaxed and off the grid.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“There’s no book about how to get back into civilian life, no training,” says Rhodesian-born Nick. He used to serve here in 3RAR. He’s still awaiting a significant financial backer for the venture. Most organisations will wait a long time.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“In Australia, we don’t need to carry guns. It’s safe to go out at night. Somebody has paid the price for that,” Nick says, then gestures out into the dark from the campfire.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“All this is to thank these guys and girls who fought for what we have. It’s the least I can do.” IT’S the sort of place Private Nathan Roberts and Trisha might have found some solace. And Trisha thinks that her husband might still be alive if more had been done by Defence to follow him up.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Besides, Trisha believes Nathan should never have been sent to a war zone in the first place. She says before he went away, the army knew he was mentally fragile.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Knowing he might struggle with the deployment, Trisha did her best from 10,000km away to keep Nathan in the loop of their young family.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Little Emrys was an early walker. His first steps were a little before he was nine months old. Trisha was torn. Within a week, the three of them would be together on Nathan’s mid-deployment leave.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">She resolved to keep it secret. Nathan had already missed so many milestones of his first child. As they settled into their hotel room in Queenstown, NZ, Emrys took a couple of steps. Trisha conjured up some excitement.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And Nathan believed he was there to see his son walk for the first time. Private Daniel Garforth also felt that separation from his little girl. Although he never set his boot on ground in a war, his story is no less distressing.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Daniel signed up for the army at the age of 19. Within a year, he appeared to be a bad fit for military life. His mum, Nikki Jamieson, says his posting to Darwin away from his toddler daughter in Brisbane weighed him down.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He signed up for four years and lacked resilience to survive what he felt was bullying by one of his officers in charge.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">When he tried to voice his concerns with a more senior rank, he was disciplined. “He felt like he had nowhere to go for help. He was trapped in a place where he felt powerless,” Nikki says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“From his diary entries, he wrote his faults were singled out and he was ostracised, belittled in front of his peers and colleagues. He was refused leave from regular duties to see his psychologist.” Daniel was 21 when he took his own life. Two weeks earlier, he’d been on guard duty in the barracks. That night, he took a distraught call from the civilian friend of a suicidal female soldier on base. The friend was worried for the soldier’s safety.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Daniel told his mother his report to a senior was brushed off. And the next morning, the female soldier was found in her room.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">She had died from suicide.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“He felt like he’d let her down. And his seniors should have been alert to the fact that suicide is a contagion.” Nikki is a qualified social worker. After the death of her only son, she says she’s discovered the old-fashioned bullying culture in the military is still rife.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Instead of exploring her legal options against the ADF, she decided to try to help.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">She’s started her PhD into understanding what life is like for young soldiers in the army.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I decided my absolution will be to find out why so many are dying,” Nikki says. “Then maybe the military can use my research to do more to stop it.” HOW much research do they need? Spend six months at ground level with families and veterans and you’ll find the same problems mentioned independently, over and over. The bureaucratic systems are rigid, limping or broken.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The two most criticised government bodies are, unsurprisingly, the Australian Defence Force and the <span class="companylink">Department of Veterans’ Affairs</span> — the ADF because it leaves service people and veterans high and dry; the DVA because its insurance company approach to approving entitlements is for some the nail in their coffin.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">So strong is the anti-DVA sentiment in the grassroots veteran community that T-shirts are sold online saying: “The DVA: Giving veterans a second chance to die for their country since 1920.” This is harsh. But for some, it seems their reality.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Michelle Zamora’s little brother, Dan Herps, was a victim of several systemic problems. He died from suicide on January 19, 2014, aged 38.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I wish I could have been stronger for you but I seriously can’t cope with all this pain,” he wrote to his sister in a final letter.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In the months before he took medical leave from the ADF, he’d started training for Special Forces. He described to her aspects of his training, including a terrorist interrogation module. That this was harrowing is not surprising. That there was no “debrief” is astounding.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“They were basically teaching him how to be a terrorist target and not reveal national secrets. Torture training even,” she says. “But when they sent him home, there were no follow-ups, no calls. His eyes were different. He was hurting, but telling me he didn’t want to talk.” At his funeral, one colleague who served in border patrol with Dan during the height of the <b>asylum</b>-seeker <b>boat</b> arrival crisis said it was distressing for the servicemen and women on board.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“They were basically told by officials to ‘stand down’ if babies were thrown into the water. He was a father. Nobody should be expected to watch a child swallowed up by the ocean,” Michelle says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Dan was diagnosed with PTSD. The treatment he received was inadequate, she says. Psychiatrists prescribed him medication linked to suicide and banned in the UK and the US.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">When he started his application for DVA entitlements, he became swamped. Michelle, a business executive, says the independent systems for the navy, ADF and DVA seem designed to send even the mentally sound into a fury.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Dan took on an advocate a month before he died. His claim hadn’t gone very far. By the time I started the process for compensation for his widow and son, I was told everything had been lost and I had to start again,” Michelle says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I had to go through hundreds of emails from Dan, which he’d sent me over 10 years, to help his case. It was appalling.” From the start to the finish, Dan seemed let down by the systems in the nation he signed up to serve.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And Michelle has no doubt: “If the right services and support were in place, Dan would still be alive today.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Dan joined the navy to protect this nation, and to serve the community. However, the systems and services are not set up to protect them.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We have a responsibility as a community to bring our defence force home safely and to provide them with the care that they deserve.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“This is not happening.” PRIVATE Nathan Roberts seemed happy when he first came back from Afghanistan. He slipped back into family life. At first, he was an attentive father and partner.</p>

He would sit in the armchair for hours each day, next to the natural light from the window. He would go for days without eating or drinking. And he didn’t sleep much.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We understand that the motivations of the <b>refugee</b> lobby have their genesis in generosity and compassion. But for some the cause morphs into partisan activism, political abuse and personal smears.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Crusading for what they see as a righteous moral cause, the <b>refugee</b> lobby seems to ignore the normal rules of engagement. There is no compunction in terms of spreading lies about perceived ideological enemies, shaming their nation and compatriots or, indeed, the entire population of Nauru.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The toxicity of this debate has played out again this week after The Guardian Australia revealed thousands of incident reports from Nauru. The leak provided disturbing details about the sorts of complaints and episodes we have been aware of previously, from protests to medical emergencies and from terrible cases of self-harm to claims of assault and rape.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Much of this was reported breathlessly and at face value as proof that Australia is “torturing” children in what is “systematic abuse” of refugees. A week earlier we saw similar coverage of claims from two human rights activists who slipped into Nauru for a clandestine assessment. <span class="companylink">Amnesty International</span> said Australia was guilty of “appalling abuse” and “neglect of refugees” on Nauru.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I interviewed one of the report’s authors, Amnesty’s Anna Neistat, from Paris and it was clear she had little or no direct evidence. She spoke of “daily” attacks, “people being hacked with machetes, hit with metal bars, thrown off motorcycles, women who have been raped” and the “regular occurrence” of self-harm for which people “don’t get sufficient” support. She said virtually all of this violence was being inflicted by Nauruans.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">So why would Nauruans want to hurt the refugees? “You know there is a very simple answer to that,” she said. “They do it because they can do it.” For this to be plausible we need to accept a bleak view of 10,000 Nauruans, not to mention their government and police force who are accused of acquiescence, if not complicity, even though they are assisted and trained by <span class="companylink">Australian Federal Police</span>.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">None of us can disprove claims. Nor would we expect Nauru to be crime free. We know some violence has occurred and we expect thorough investigations and justice.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But we shouldn’t accept implausible claims at face value when there is an obvious incentive for exaggeration or concoction, and especially when it is so damning of the people of Nauru and the hundreds of Australians working with them.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It is these sorts of reports that prompted my visit to Nauru last October when I inspected the processing centres, spoke with dozens of <b>asylum</b>-seekers and refugees, and met service providers, locals, police and leading members of the Nauruan government. As my reports relayed, the sense of isolation, torment and uncertainty for the <b>asylum</b>-seekers and refugees was overwhelming.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Many were frantic with complaints and agitating to be allowed into Australia, others were resigned to never reaching our shores but still desperately impatient to start a new life somewhere — anywhere but Nauru.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But where Neistat tells us women are afraid to leave their accommodation for fear of rape or attacks, I saw <b>refugee</b> women walking alone and in small groups around the island and catching buses to English lessons and the like. Where the activists talk about rampant abuse, I saw energetic and friendly children whose mothers insisted they were safe. “It is a different kind of abuse,” said one mother. “It is the uncertainty.” Much reporting has focused on children, and activists contend we should at least bring them to Australia. Yet the children are with their parents and, providing they attend school, have the least to lose while on Nauru. As I reported when I met Jafar, a Syrian <b>refugee</b> with five sons, ranging down from 25-year-old Mohammed to zesty nine-year-old Salem, “to scour the boys’ faces, youngest to eldest, is to see disappointment and worry increase with the years”. There are 1159 refugees and <b>asylum</b>-seekers on Nauru. Most live in the community and 412 live in processing camps where they are free to come and go as they please. Medical care is provided by 75 healthcare professionals at the centre’s clinic and Nauru’s hospital, refurbished at a cost of $29 million.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There have been horrific cases of self-harm, including two people who self-immolated this year; one died. Depression must be a critical problem.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There have been allegations of rape and abuse — at least one was investigated by Nauru police and found to be baseless. Other alleged attacks have not been reported to police.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Whether you oppose the offshore processing policy or support it, this limbo must end. And the sooner the better.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Critics who say the policy is too harsh have every right to oppose it, of course.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But it is another matter to accuse Australia of condoning or conducting abuse. “The Australian government’s persistent failure to address abuses committed under its authority on Nauru strongly suggests that they are adopted or condoned as a matter of policy,” says Amnesty.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Establishing the facts is crucial. People stranded on the island have a clear interest in undermining the policy, seeking international attention or securing transfer to Australia on medical or other grounds.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">More transparency is needed — although rather than discuss my reporting or that of Channel Nine’s Caroline Marcus, who also gained access earlier this year, the activists accuse us of lying and deliberately covering up abuse. The debate diverts from rational discourse to become a moral demolition derby.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For the activists’ claims to be true, Marcus and I would need to be the most loathsome manipulators for some undisclosed cause, most Nauruans would need to be violent criminals overseen by complicit police and politicians, hundreds of Australian public servants, police and social service workers would need to be either evil or cowed into malevolent silence and our politicians would need to be monsters.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Melbourne lawyer and <b>refugee</b> activist Julian Burnside has tweeted that Immigration Minister Peter Dutton “wants a few more refugees to die” on Nauru or Manus Island as a deterrent. Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young says the government “uses” child abuse to stop the boats.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Hanson-young says we should “Close the camps” and “#BringThemHere” but must know that the last time we halted <b>boat</b> arrivals then weakened the regime, the people-smugglers rekindled their trade leading to 1200 deaths and more than 50,000 people going into detention. Australian Human Rights Commission President Gillian Triggs publicly supports this disastrous prescription.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Despite the fact our orderly <b>refugee</b> intake remains one of the highest in the world and is growing, the activists will do anything to unpick the border policies. It is a reckless sanctimony that eschews logical arguments.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Yet this issue demands more attention for the pressing reason that more than 2000 refugees and <b>asylum</b>-seekers remain in an Australian-imposed diapause on Manus Island and Nauru. With the boats stopped and the major parties in relative consensus, now is the time to focus on the only constructive solution — resettling the refugees without compromising our borders.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">If the compassionista campaigning succeeds we risk repeating history. It is unthinkable this country would countenance a third rerun of this obscene policy failure.Yet it is perilously possible because political pressure at home or difficulties in the host nations could force a retreat. So, aside from the main imperative of finding a humanitarian outcome for people in our care, there is a compelling political need to empty the camps and preserve the integrity of the policy.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">ROBERT MANNE</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">T here are two powerful arguments about the plight of the refugees dying a slow death in the offshore processing centres Australia has established and which it maintains on Nauru and Manus Island. The supporters of the present policy argue we cannot bring these refugees to Australia because to do so would act as a signal to people smugglers, allowing their trade to begin again. Those who hold this view point to the experience after the Rudd government's abandonment of the policies of offshore processing and naval turn- backs. They argue that it was as a result of these policy shifts that 50,000 <b>asylum</b> seekers arrived on Australian territory between 2009 and 2013 and about 1200 drowned before arriving. They say if Australia abandoned offshore processing and turn-backs, the results would be much the same as they were after 2008, perhaps worse. They believe, on balance, it is better to allow those on Nauru and Manus Island to remain where they are, and to rot in desperation, than to risk the resumption of the people-smuggling trade by bringing these people to Australia. The opponents of the present policy say it is a terrible, unconscionable wrong to allow men, women and children - who have committed no crime, who have been proven to be genuine refugees - to have their lives destroyed by policies devised, implemented and financed by Australia. They argue that our military and intelligence services, in co-operation with the Indonesians, can stop the boats without the need for the devastating human consequences of Australia's policies that are now extremely well documented. They believe that as the international community increasingly becomes acquainted with the unprecedented cruelty of Australia's <b>asylum</b>-seeker policies, our reputation as a callous and even racist nation will become entrenched.The difficulty is both these arguments are true. If we were to repeat what the Rudd government did in 2008, the results are predictable - the arrival of many tens of thousands of <b>asylum</b> seekers, the death by drowning of many hundreds, and the creation of an even more virulent anti-<b>asylum</b> seeker public opinion. On the other hand, if we allow this situation to continue, the result is no less predictable - the slow death of 1750 innocent people for which Australia is, and will remain forever, morally responsible. We write this because we believe there is a practical way for Australia to escape this impasse and this dilemma. During the the Howard government, most of the refugees sent to Nauru and Manus Island in 2001-02 were gradually brought to Australia. A far smaller number were settled in New Zealand or the Nordic countries. Nonetheless, despite this resettlement, between 2002 and 2007 virtually no <b>asylum</b>-seeker boats arrived on Australia territory. How can this be explained? The most plausible explanation is that even though the <b>asylum</b> seekers on Nauru and Manus Island were resettled in Australia or in other countries, and the</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">offshore processing centres gradually emptied, the naval turn-back policy was retained. Because the Indonesian authorities were committed to disrupting people smugglers and dissuading <b>asylum</b> seekers from getting on boats, and because any <b>asylum</b> seekers who set out were likely to be returned by the Royal Australian Navy to the point of their departure, the people smugglers were unable to find customers for their trade. Paradoxically, because the turn-back policy was retained, between 2002 and 2007 naval force was not needed. We believe there is no reason the Turnbull government cannot do what the Howard government did - maintain close intelligence co-operation with Indonesian authorities, and maintain the turn-back policy, while emptying the offshore processing centres and restoring the chance of a future to those we sent to Nauru or Manus Island three years ago or more by settling them either in Australia or, if any are willing, in other developed countries. Like Howard, Turnbull could maintain the offshore processing centres in case of an emergency. There are, however, two main obstacles to acceptance of this plan. The supporters of the current policy claim any action that humanises the current policy will see a return of the people- smuggling trade. This argument is, in</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">our view, without reason. In part, it is contradicted by recent history, by what happened during the Howard years. In part, it defies common sense. How many <b>asylum</b> seekers would be willing to pay people smugglers when the overwhelming likelihood is disruption by Indonesian authorities or interception by the Australian navy and return to the place of their departure? The other less obvious obstacle is the mindset of the supporters of the <b>asylum</b> seekers. They have produced no short- term alternative to the present policy that has any chance of changing the attitude of the Canberra policymakers and the major political parties. However, they will not countenance the kind of policy compromise we have reluctantly come to accept. As a consequence, the supporters of the <b>asylum</b> seekers face a difficult choice. Either they must acknowledge their heartfelt advocacy will not be able to change the situation. Or they must accept a morally and legally imperfect alternative, which has at least some possibility of success, that is, to say a policy framework that has some chance of convincing the public servants and the politicians there is a way that the refugees marooned on Nauru and Manus Island can be brought to Australia without a return to the situation of the Rudd and Gillard years. For the supporters of the current policy and supporters of the <b>asylum</b> seekers, there is accordingly some soul- searching to do. Supporters of the current policy must face they are complicit in the destruction of the lives of 1750 innocent people. Opponents of the current policy must face that their unwillingness to compromise their principles makes it even less likely that the lives of the 17,500 people they desperately care about will be saved.

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There was a time when GEOFF DYER had no urge to travel. But then he succumbed to the lure of foreign lands.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Why travel? To appreciate the difficulties in answering this simple question let's begin by consulting someone who did a lot of travelling back in the days when getting around the world was nothing like as easy as it is now. D.H. Lawrence always travelled on the cheap and in considerable discomfort, frequently while sick, and often en route to somewhere he would get even sicker: "I was ill in Oaxaca - got malaria - with grippe - and typhoid - a mere wreck."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In 1922, living sort of contentedly in Sicily with his German wife, he was anxious to take up an invitation to go to America, in fact "had almost booked our passage to America, when suddenly it came over me I must go to Ceylon". To say that he hated Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) is a major understatement but his experience was sufficient for him to extrapolate to some massive conclusions: "The east, the bit I've seen, seems silly. I don't like it one bit. I don't like the silly dark people or their swarming billions or their hideous little Buddha temples, like decked up pigsties," he wrote to a friend. "It just makes me feel sick at the pit of my stomach. Dear Mary, never travel round the word to look at it - it will only make you sick."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">To his relief, Lawrence soon found himself on a <b>boat</b> sailing from Ceylon to . . . "Australia - heaven knows why". Having repeated our initial question he duly arrived in Perth where he mounted an unanswerable defence of travel: "I'll see this damned world, if only to know I don't want to see any more of it."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And he liked what he saw of Australia, its "marvellous air, marvellous sun and sky - strange, vast empty country - hoary unending 'bush' with a pre-primeval ghost in it - apples ripe and good, also pears . . . but - But - BUT - Well, it's always an anti-climax of buts. I just don't want to stay, that's all . . . But I love trying things and discovering how I hate them. How I hated a great deal of my time in Ceylon: never felt so sick in my life. Yet it is a very precious memory, invaluable. Not wild horses would drag me back. But neither time nor eternity will take away what I have of it: Ceylon and the east. One day I shall go round the world again, and go from Africa to North India and Himalayas and if possible Tibet: then China and Japan. One day."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We will leave Lawrence in Australia, before his savage pilgrimage took him on to New Mexico, to Mexico itself, back to England, back to America, to France and, ultimately to the sanatorium where he died, the aptly named Ad Astra: "This place no good," he wrote in one of his last letters (thereby anticipating the kind of damning <span class="companylink">TripAdvisor</span> review that all hoteliers dread).</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Hidden among the brambles of Lawrence's rantings are versions - or aversions - of truths many readers and travellers will be familiar with, not least a compulsion to continue travelling so intense as to render any "why?" superfluous.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">So perhaps the question needs to be rephrased negatively. Why would one not travel? The answers to that are simple. First, because sometimes one is not allowed to. Because one is either so economically disadvantaged or because the regime under which one is living does not permit travel. And even then - witness the <b>refugee</b> crisis - people will still attempt it. Second, and more modestly, because some people sit happily where they are, like Billy Collins in his poem Consolations, basking in thoughts of "How agreeable it is not to be touring Italy this summer".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But how readily "simple" turns into its opposite! Personally, I began travelling precisely because I had no urge to. As a child we went on holiday only rarely, to English seaside towns, and always disastrously. My dad hated spending money and being away obliged him to spend money almost constantly (on petrol, lodging, restaurants). So whereas it may be in the blood of the children of diplomats to move around, my inherited disposition was to stay put. My parents are dead now; neither of them ever flew on an aeroplane. I didn't get on one till I was 22 - and didn't have a good time when I got off it. I'd been led to believe that travel was something one should do and even while I was not enjoying it I was conscious that it was somehow an improving experience in the same way that reading Lawrence or Matthew Arnold allegedly nudged one in the direction of sweetness and light.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And one thing did become quickly clear: it's an incredible planet we live on. Like everyone else I've been thrilled by images coming back from Pluto and Jupiter but the truth is that none of the other planets come within a million miles of our gorgeous little marble. Annie Dillard put it best when she said that the purpose of travel is not to see "the most spectacular anything", but since we're only here for a short time we "may as well get a feel for the place". The more you see of the world the easier it is to feel - as Lawrence discovered in New Mexico, in 1926 - everywhere at home.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And here we arrive at one of the homely lessons of travel: people are surprisingly decent the world over. Given the scale of inequality in the world - often you can walk down a street with more wealth stashed in your hotel room safe than the people on the sidewalks will see in their entire lives - isn't it extraordinary that you don't get not just robbed but eaten? One must not be naive. There were times when it was not advisable to go to Fallujah or Grozny but this should also serve as an incentive because just as the great museums are not open every day of the year so certain parts of the world are not always in a position to receive visitors. About 15 years ago I went to Libya to see the Roman ruins of Leptis Magna. God knows when it might be safe to go there again. So the question once again needs to be changed: from "Why travel?" to "Where should we travel now?" Because we might not be able to later. Because we are not immortal.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Memories of the spectacular ruins of Leptis Magna make me take issue slightly with Dillard. For we surely have an inbuilt need to have seen (the Grand Canyon, the Pyramids) or even to see if there is anything worth seeing. John C. Van Dyke, the writer who in 1901 opened our eyes to the desolate beauty of the American deserts, went so far as to wonder if "we are born with a predilection for 'the view'."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">One thing is beyond doubt: we are definitely born with a predilection for romance. The magic of holiday romance is especially acute when it unfolds amid the splendours of unchanging natural beauty or the grandeur of ancient sites. The sense of transience, the fleeting joy of the moment, is heightened by the permanence of what lies around. It raises to a special intensity the feeling you can have while travelling anywhere, either in company or alone: that, while far from home, you are at the centre of your life. In the middle of nowhere you can feel that word splitting in two as you say to yourself yes: now, here!</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Speaking after more than 2000 incident reports of abuse and self-harm among <b>asylum</b> seekers and refugees in Australian immigration detention centres on Nauru were leaked to Guardian Australia, Mr Dutton sought to down play the information but said he would not tolerate any sexual abuse reports.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"If a mother or father smacks their child in the detention centre, or on Nauru, that is reported by the guards as an incident report," he said. "That's not an allegation of sexual assault. People can have their own views about discipline of children, if there is movement of children or if a child is having problems at the Nauru school and doesn't want to go to school, that forms the basis of an incident report."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The documents reveal details of life in Australia's offshore detention network, including violence, self-harm, and sexual assault.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The reports covers May 2013 to October last year.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I have been made aware of some incidents that have been reported - false allegations of sexual assault - because in the end, people have paid money to people smugglers and they want to come to our country," Mr Dutton said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"They've been told if they've sought to come here by <b>boat</b>, they won't be settling.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Some people have even gone to the extent of self-harming, and people have self-immolated in an effort to get to Australia and certainly some have made false allegations in an attempt to get to Australia."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He said some people were motivated to make false complaints.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"We have had instances where people have self-harmed in an effort to get to Australia."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Greens immigration spokeswoman Sarah Hanson-Young said the comments were "abhorrent".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"To attack a child for telling an adult - someone they should trust - that they've been abused is unthinkable," Senator Hanson-Young said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">
<span class="companylink">Save the Children</span> policy director Mat Tinkler accused Mr Dutton of "a blatant attempt to divert attention from the government's failure to find an appropriate, workable and humane resettlement solution". "Mr Dutton is once again blaming the victims, who in many cases happen to be vulnerable children," he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Opposition Leader Bill Shorten avoided calls for a royal commission into Australia's off-shore detention system, instead calling for an independent child advocate.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"The fact of the matter is that this government, with the evidence in front of it as it's been revealed ... needs to change the way it administers its activities in detention centres," he said.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A social enterprise cafe in Newtown is teaching skills and building friendships, and getting a whole lot of love in return.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Somebody keeps kissing the windows of a little Newtown cafe and running away, leaving lipstick on the glass. "We're happy that the cafe is kiss-worthy," says Ravi Prasad of Parliament on King. "But who kisses a cafe? And why?"</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It could be any number of people. An <b>asylum</b> seeker or <b>refugee</b> who has been through the cafe's six-week hospitality training course, perhaps. Or a local who had booked into one of the monthly Local Family Dinners ($20 for two courses) cooked by said <b>asylum</b> seekers and refugees. Or perhaps it's just someone who likes to sit in the cosy bohemian clutter of books, vinyl, teapots, coffee beans, music, art and flowers, have a great coffee, and leave a visible thank you.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Troubled by Australia's treatment of <b>asylum</b> seekers and refugees, Ravi and Della Prasad turned the front living room of their Newtown terrace into a cafe in 2013. Parliament on King is now a cafe, bookshop, events space, hospitality training centre, catering firm, and home away from home for many of Sydney's <b>asylum</b> seekers and refugees.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"When you first come to Australia, you are disempowered," says Prasad, an advertising strategist in his spare time. "You have left behind your family and friends, your credentials are not recognised. You line up here, you line up there. Here, we help you do things your way. You're not a client."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The cafe has trained more than 250 people in barista skills, food preparation, food hygiene and service, with many going on to their first Australian jobs. "The idea is to get people work-ready," he says. "In the last two months we have paid for seven people to do their food-safety-supervisor tests."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Local Family Dinners are another way of bridging gaps. "Everyone gets together to cook and serve food from their own cultures," says Prasad. "The dinners create bridges of friendship and understanding with the locals. Friendships are made."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Now Prasad sees the most potential for change in social-enterprise catering. On the day we met, he had just delivered morning tea and lunch for 200 people - all cooked in the tiny cafe kitchen - to a women's conference at <span class="companylink">Sydney's University of Technology</span> (UTS). "The people that do the work are paid above-award wages, and share in the benefits," he says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For catering clients, it's win/win. "You'll have something lovely to eat, while helping some lovely people feel valued and wanted, by providing real work, training and community." The food is home-style and made from scratch, from Burmese red pepper noodles to Persian rice and Sri Lankan curries.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Student Hani Abdile, from Kismaayo in southern Somalia, has had a busy morning making Somalian pancakes (injera) with vegetable soup, a breakfast favourite at the cafe. "It feels like you are at home, sharing what you love," she says. She turns to the espresso machine, working it like a pro. "When I tell people my story of how I came to Australia by <b>boat</b>, I get a lot of negative questions," she says, dusting cocoa over a cappuccino in a vintage cup. "But when I cook and share my food, it makes everything work in a good way. Food is the only thing that makes us feel united."</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And terror group Islamic State is organising for Syrian refugees to sell their organs to get their family passage ­to Europe.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The investigation found almost 100 desperate Australians have paid to have an illegal transplant overseas because demand for organs here outstrips supply.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Only six million Australians have registered to donate their organs when they die, and the <span class="companylink">Herald</span> Sun is campaigning to get millions more to register to stifle the illegal trade in organs.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The risks facing Australians who turn to the black market are very grave. <span class="companylink">Griffith University</span> academic Campbell Fraser has found terrorists are also involved in the trade.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Dr Fraser, who has interviewed 1000 people who have bought and sold organs, says attempts to close down the organ trade has pushed up the price of illegal transplants to more than $100,000.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“This has made the profits large enough to attract the ­interest of terrorists, people smugglers and organised crime figures,” he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In Chennai, India, <b>refugee</b> advocate Samuel Chandra­hasan claims about 500 Sri Lankan <b>asylum</b> seekers have sold their organs in the past three years to help cover the $3000 cost to get to Australia by <b>boat</b>. He says the refugees are taken to hospitals in Colombo where their kidneys are removed.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The numbers are close to a few hundred over a period of three years,” he said. A Sri Lankan mother, 42, living in a <b>refugee</b> camp, said: “I have heard and seen people donate a kidney in the camp. For their children, they will do whatever they can do to get to Australia.” Sri Lankan authorities are turning a blind eye because they share in some of the payment, the <span class="companylink">Herald</span> Sun was told.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Organ sales are rife in Sri Lanka, it’s a cesspit,” said Prof Jeremy Chapman, the head of the International Transplantation Society dedicated to ending organ trafficking.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Dr Fraser has compelling evidence that people from the IS-controlled Yarmouk <b>refugee</b> camp in Syria are selling their organs “What IS is doing is, if refugees want to go to Europe, if they don’t have enough money, they are given the option of selling a kidney,” he said. “That serves as a passage to Europe for five family members. The family gets no money and the traffickers sell the kidney for $60,000.” Dr Fraser’s work has ­attracted the interest of the <span class="companylink">FBI</span>, the Transnational Crime and Terrorism Centre in Washington, <span class="companylink">Interpol</span> and police forces around the world.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">WAR ON ISLAMIC STATE PART 3 The Turnbull-Bishop team decided to shift our tactics in pursuing the goal</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It was an unlikely setting for a disagreement between friends. But on a summer’s day in Paris under crystal chandeliers in the <span class="companylink">French foreign ministry</span>, Julie Bishop had had enough.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">With US Secretary of State John Kerry watching her via video-link from the US, the Foreign Minister bluntly criticised America’s priorities in the war against the Islamic State.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In front of 23 other foreign ministers involved in the coalition against Islamic State, Bishop said the fight was being compromised by Washington’s insistence that Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad be deposed.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It was the first time Australia had openly challenged its closest ally since Islamic State swept into Iraq a year earlier.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“There was frustration among some coalition partners,” Bishop says of that closed-door meeting on June 2 last year. “I remember speaking up very strongly in Paris where I said removing Assad should not be a precondition to everything else we do. The Americans disagreed. Britain disagreed. The French agreed with me. We had a pretty robust discussion about that. It seemed to me that we were getting off track from focusing on the removal of IS by saying Assad must go first.” Kerry still saw the war against Islamic State as merely one piece of the overall Syrian problem, but for Bishop it was all that mattered at a time when Australia had already suffered two terror attacks inspired by the group in only eight months, with police narrowly foiling several more.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“It was absolutely (our priority) because IS was still attracting Australians to go over there and fight, I was cancelling passports and (yet) the number of foreign fighters kept increasing,” says Bishop.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“My view was we have to, sure, end the civil war (in Syria) but there was too much focus on the removal of Assad and not enough effort had been directed to removing the terrorists … we were being very pragmatic about it, which was not the view of the Americans.” Bishop was also energised by the “sobering assessments” she received about the power vacuum that would be created in Syria by removing Assad, a vacuum that could quickly be filled by Islamic State or other extremist groups.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Bishop courted further controversy at that Paris meeting by calling for Iran to be a part of the coalition talks on the grounds that it had a military presence in Iraq and was one of the staunch opponents of the terror group.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Since becoming Foreign Minister, Bishop had cultivated a relationship with Iran’s foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif. At one level it was an unlikely pairing, but Bishop is a pragmatist and a series of recent issues had brought Tehran into Australia’s orbit.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For one, there were the thousands of Iranian <b>asylum</b>-seekers who had arrived by <b>boat</b> during the Labor years. Most were in Australia, but Bishop hoped that over time Iran might be persuaded to take some of them back.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The other was the Sunni terror group Islamic State, an enemy of Australia and Shia Iran. Scores of Australians had travelled to fight under the group’s black banner and information was vital.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Iran had excellent battlefield intelligence on these young men, whose activities were of intense interest to Australia’s spies.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Bishop continued to push these arguments privately in the months that followed but it was only after Malcolm Turnbull deposed Tony Abbott as leader in mid-September that Australia publicly changed course and openly canvassed the possibility that Assad might be involved in a future Syrian government of national unity.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The issue of Assad was an example of how the ascension of Turnbull as Prime Minister transformed the atmospherics of Australia’s war against Islamic State.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On the home front, Turnbull’s rise had the effect of changing the tone of the terror debate overnight.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Confidential briefings provided by the security agencies left Turnbull in no doubt that Abbott’s hardline rhetoric on terrorism, which included describing Islamic State as a “death cult”, using terms such as “Team Australia” and questioning aspects of Islam was alienating mainstream Australian Muslims, making it potentially harder for ASIO and the Australian federal Police to secure co-operation in countering extremists.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The rise of encryption technology had made the agencies more dependent than ever on human intelligence and yet the gulf between the community, the source of that intelligence, and the authorities had never been wider.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Turnbull consulted Bishop and Michael Keenan, the Justice Minister and Minister Assisting the Prime Minister on Counter-terrorism. Both urged him to adopt a less strident tone on the issue.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Prime Minister explained his approach to The Australian: “In this age of terrorism — overwhelmingly inspired by radical Islamist ideology — our security agencies must have the trust of Islamic communities in order to succeed,’’ he said. “This is why I choose my language carefully.’’ In truth, the difference between Turnbull and his predecessor went beyond semantics. For Abbott, the contest against Islamic State was existential. For Turnbull it was strategic. Liberated from the iron constraints of ideology, Turnbull was free to pursue a more pragmatic approach to counter-terrorist policy.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He was under no illusions about the threat posed by Islamic extremism. Nor was he squeamish in the methods he was prepared to use to fight it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For all the suspicion around Turnbull’s credentials on national security, it is worth noting that the single most draconian measure so far proposed in the fight against Islamic State — the indefinite detention of convicted jihadists — came not from the police or from ASIO, but from the Prime Minister’s own office.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But whereas Abbott tended to focus on Islamic State’s ambitions, Turnbull saw its weaknesses. Terrorism is the weapon of the loser and no matter how mighty Islamic State might appear, the limitations of its power were obvious to him. As far back as July 2015, Turnbull — then communications minister — had warned of the dangers of overstating the threat posed by terrorism.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Daish is not Hitler’s Germany, Tojo’s Japan or Stalin’s Russia,’’ he said in a speech marking the anniversary of the Magna Carta. “Its leaders dream that they, like the Arab armies of the 7th and 8th century, will sweep across the Middle East into Europe itself. They predict that before long they will be stabling their horses in the Vatican ... We should be careful not to say or do things which can be seen to add credibility to those delusions.’’ Turnbull’s approach to national security would remain an article of suspicion among the conservatives in his party. It would occasionally get him into trouble. In December, in a thinly disguised rebuttal to comments made by former PM Abbott about problems within Islam, ASIO chief Duncan Lewis warned than anti-Islamic rhetoric could fuel a dangerous backlash against Muslims, making it harder for ASIO to do its work.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Lewis phoned some MPs directly to warn them against using overly robust language when discussing Islam and terrorism — a move that some conservative MPs believed amounted to an improper restriction of free speech. When it emerged Lewis had made the calls with Turnbull’s encouragement, some inside his party were apoplectic.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In June, Turnbull hosted an ­interfaith dinner to mark the end of Ramadan. When it emerged that one of the guests, prominent Sydney sheik Shady Alsuleiman, had, among other incendiary remarks, described AIDS as “divine punishment’’ against gays, the Prime Minister was forced to slap him down.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In truth, it was an early lesson on the challenges inherent in Turnbull’s approach. Working closely with the community inevitably means engaging with leaders whose views are on the margins of respectability — or, in Shady’s case, well beyond it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Abroad, things were changing, too. Barely two weeks after he assumed office, Russian warplanes began bombing Syria, claiming to be attacking Islamic State forces. It quickly became apparent, though, that Moscow’s aim was not to destroy Islamic State but to strengthen Assad’s position by attacking moderate forces opposed to him inside Syria.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“If their bombing campaign had been directed against IS it would have been effective but what they were doing was very indiscriminate bombing and not necessarily against terrorist organisations,” says Bishop. Only two weeks earlier, RAAF F/A-18 warplanes had conducted their first bombing raid in Syria as part of an agreed extension of their bombing mission in Iraq. But with Russian fighters now suddenly joining them in the skies over Syria, the RAAF struck an unpublicised agreement with its coalition partners that Australian planes would operate only over eastern Syria, well away from the Russians.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Less than three weeks after Turnbull became PM, 15-year-old Farhad Jabar walked up to Parramatta police station dressed in Islamic robes and carrying a .38 <span class="companylink">Smith & Wesson</span> revolver and shot civilian police department employee Curtis Cheng in the back of the head.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Jabar, who died in the subsequent gunfight with police, had been radicalised quickly and with the help of others who supplied him the gun.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Cheng shooting confirmed a new trend in Australia’s war against Islamic State. The terror group was now appealing as much to underage Australian youths as it was to adults. This new breed of terrorist was no longer in his 20s or 30s, rather, they were more likely to be in high school. The notion that a 15-year-old could carry out such a cold blooded attack on the streets of Sydney stunned police.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“It really challenged us, says AFP chief Andrew Colvin. “Kids are kids and police have traditionally taken a very different view of children. We have mostly thought of a 14-year-old as misguided, not a hardened terrorist.” Says Keenan: “We had to completely change the environment in which our agencies operate.” It is shocking that a 15-year-old or 16-year-old could pick up a gun and murder someone.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We had to do things that naturally people are squeamish about such as applying laws to younger and younger people, such as control orders for people who might be only 14.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Now, everyone in the community has cause to be concerned about that, but we need to respond to the reality of the situation — and that is the reality.” With teenagers emerging as the main extremist threat at home, the government tried to fast-track deradicalisation programs for vulnerable youths. But this concept — which promotes the role of counsellors, parents and imams over police in trying to defuse extremist views — has had a troubled birth, with at least one person charged with terror offences despite having been in such a program.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Even so, Keenan says there is no choice but to keep pushing and improving such programs. “That’s why (because of the young ages) we have spent a lot of time on the CVE (countering violent extremism) effort,” he says. “It is something that is very new and it has taken time to feel through this process.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“No one would expect us to get it 100 per cent right, no one would ever expect that would happen, but we need to keep trying.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I actually think we’ve done very well on CVE; the nature of it is that you can’t brag about it and you can’t provide all the details.” By late last year, the war against Islamic State was taking a new global turn. In Iraq, the terror group was finally losing ground, pushed back by a rejuvenated Iraqi army assisted by Western training and the allied bombing campaign.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The fear had always been that as the terror group lost the war in Iraq, it would try harder to inspire directs attacks by its supporters in the West.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On November 13 these fears were realised when eight terrorists launched suicide bomb and gun attacks in Paris. The assault was the deadliest attack on France since World War II, killing 130 people and injuring 368.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Two days later Australian authorities caught a French national of Arab descent arriving at Melbourne airport with extremist material and a supply of chemical mace. He was detained and returned to France for questioning.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That incident alarmed authorities. It was concrete evidence that Europe had become as much a source of terrorism as North Africa, the Middle East or Asia, particularly as terrorists could potentially exploit the relaxed visa conditions extended to <span class="companylink">EU</span> citizens.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Since the Paris attacks, counter-terror teams at Australian airports have doubled their focus — from 20 per cent to 40 per cent — on incoming passengers. The Paris attacks reinforced how global the war on Islamic State had become and the tragedy helped to spur the government’s efforts to extend its web of alliances to help the fight.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In December, Attorney-General George Brandis visited Jordan which, as revealed in The Weekend Australian last week, had become a key intelligence partner for Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Brandis, Keenan, Lewis and Colvin visited Jakarta that same month to discuss growing concerns about the terror threat posed to Indonesia by returning Islamic State fighters.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Turnbull government also stepped up its co-operation with non-traditional allies including Iran, Lebanon and Pakistan to allow for collaboration on the threat posed by Islamic State.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We were making contact with intelligence agencies that we would not otherwise have seen a need to contact,” says Bishop. “But because of the foreign fighter threat we felt it was in our national interest for these connections to be made.” “Then we sought to improve our intelligence relationships with countries in our region — so not only (in) terrorism central in the Middle East, but with countries through which they (foreign fighters) were travelling, such as Indonesia, Malaysia and The Philippines.” In its struggle against Islamic State, Australia had amassed the most comprehensive global intelligence network in its peacetime history.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But then when the tide finally appeared to be turning in the war against Islamic State, a terrorist nightmare unfolded in Europe.The fourth and final part of the War on Islamic State series will be published in The Australian on Monday.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Next, the Turnbull Government announced an increase in Australian servicemen and women in Iraq, somewhat of an irony given the British Chilcot Inquiry just condemned the invasion by Blair, Bush and Howard in 2003, and also coinciding with a penetrating analysis by Tasmanian MHR Andrew Wilkie, who concludes the inquiry “adds weight to the argument that John Howard and others should front an international tribunal where they could respond to war crimes accusations”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A week after Hanson faced off with Dastyari, the ABC Four Corners program exposed abuse perpetrated on boys by the Northern Territory, which prompted Turnbull to announce a Royal Commission. The facts are, as many people have said, that what the ABC exposed has been known for years.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On the same day as the Four Corners program the ABC’s Australian Story featured the cold-blooded inhumane treatment of a young Iranian <b>refugee</b> woman, Mojgan Shamshalipoor, being held in indefinite detention at the discretion of Immigration Minister Peter Dutton .</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After this news broke that Australian doctors were in the process of pursuing a High Court challenge against provisions of the 2015 Border Force Act that prevents doctors reporting publicly on conditions in Australian onshore and offshore camps and from speaking out about child abuse and mistreatment of <b>asylum</b> seekers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">All these events exemplify Australia’s prevailing political culture. At home it is a culture that endorses brutal treatment of the most vulnerable and defenceless people, especially if they are non-white, or if white, from the most deprived, impoverished backgrounds. Outside Australia it is a culture that endorses war on false premises without regard to the horrendous loss of life and catastrophic consequences inflicted on people half a world away. It is a political culture that shames us all, and has done for years.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There is a continuum, for example, from One Nation’s and John Howard’s refusal to acknowledge the inhumanity perpetrated on indigenous people by removing children from their families to Howard’s false claims and dehumanisation of the Tampa refugees, to his justification for locking up <b>refugee</b> children by blaming their parents for arriving by <b>boat</b>, to establishing offshore camps, shrouded in secrecy, to increasing the disproportionate incarceration of indigenous people.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Is it a coincidence that since establishment of the brutal concentration camp regimes by federal Liberal and Labor administrations — from Christmas Island to Manus, Nauru, Woomera and elsewhere — the jailing of other disadvantaged people, especially non-white Australians, has escalated, and that cruel, illegal and secret treatment of youth in prison is granted a kind of imprimatur by the Federal Government’s dehumanisation of <b>asylum</b> seekers?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There are other continuums from Australia’s irresponsible and dishonest support for the invasion of Iraq, it’s creation of a human <b>refugee</b> problem and of course the creation of ISIS, and they include contributing to the <b>refugee</b> crisis in Europe. It would be interesting to know what Angela Merkel thinks of Australian political leaders, having now to deal with a wave of refugees of more than a million people. She, at least, refuses to take the line adopted by every Australian government since 2001, and continues to argue for humanitarian principles to prevail in her own country, against great pressure.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The difference between Merkel and the cohort of recent Australian prime ministers — Howard, Rudd, Gillard, Abbott and Turnbull — is she has moral courage and principled humanity, and they do not.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The prevailing political culture has long turned a blind eye to, or actively supported, the incarceration or mistreatment of children, and that culture has moved seamlessly through generations from Point Puer in Van Diemen’s Land, the institutionalised abuse of children in state care, in church schools and juvenile correctional facilities, to include <b>refugee</b> children who arrive by sea.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Just a few months ago staff at the Royal Childrens’ Hospital in Victoria and the Lady Cilento Hospital in Queensland refused to release children to be returned to offshore camps, on the basis it would be unethical for them to allow patients to be returned to an unsafe and unhealthy environment.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Film footage from the Northern Territory has its matching equivalents in relation to <b>asylum</b> seekers, in some ways, especially in Australian Oscar-winning director Eva Orton’s film, Chasing <b>Asylum</b>, which needs the same kind of public exposure as the Four Corners program and the story of Majgan Shamshalipoor.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">IT is not state or territory authorities who are responsible for abuse in <b>refugee</b> camps, but successive Australian governments. The same politicians who now back Turnbull’s Royal Commission into the horrors of the Northern Territory are those who have established the horrors of Manus and Nauru, or agreed to it, and have created human tragedies hidden from our view, and who passed federal legislation criminalising free speech by witnesses about what is taking place there.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Now Turnbull has been forced to establish a Royal Commission into the Abu Ghraib or Guantanamo Bay lookalike in the Northern Territory, it pays to remember politicians across Labor-Liberal party lines had no moral qualms about such facilities. This raises questions about treatment of people in captivity, whatever the reason.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In the case of the Northern Territory, Turnbull is able to take the high moral and legal ground, but who is to take that ground in the abuse of <b>asylum</b> seekers, where agencies at an international level, such as the <span class="companylink">UNHRC</span> , have no power of intervention, effective investigation or sanction?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The <span class="companylink">UN</span> can protest, as they have. They have been told by at least one Australian PM that their protests are not welcome. <span class="companylink">UN</span> officials, investigative journalists and Australia’s Human Rights Commission have been demonised and/or ignored. The President of the Human Rights Commission, Professor Gillian Triggs, was subject to a vitriolic and vindictive attempt to destroy her career after she handed down the 2014 Forgotten Children report, which investigated the treatment of children in immigration detention.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Australia is in the international spotlight over its treatment of children in prison, and we cannot hide. In relation to Don Dale, the <span class="companylink">UN</span> has made clear Australia could have breached two conventions it has signed on the rights of children and torture.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Successive Australian governments have deliberately subjected men, women and children to horrendous conditions in concentration camps, systematically destroying them psychologically, while hiding those conditions from the public and the world.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The first thing they did was to outsource everything, to distance themselves from responsibility and accountability. The only thing they could not outsource was funding, which had to come from the public purse in its hundreds of millions annually.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">So it was that those working with refugees were, and are, paid by Australian taxpayers, but are not employed by the Government, and are not members of the Department of Health or Education or any branch of the federal bureaucracy. This means they are isolated, and the consequences of any attempt to communicate with federal agencies about problems, such as inadequacies in healthcare delivery, are theirs to bear, alone and unsupported by a system that deliberately excludes them. If they seek to pursue issues outside futile communication with Australian authorities, they place themselves in jeopardy, at risk of prosecution under federal legislation.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As at the beginning of 2016, doctors were being offered $13,000 a week to work on Nauru, but the catch for them, as with other professionals signing up in the hope they can help vulnerable, desperate people, is they find their professional values and responsibilities are put at risk.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Equally significant, doctors who have worked in detention centres and who have detailed time and again what Dr John-Paul Sanggaran describes as the “reprehensible” treatment of <b>asylum</b> seekers, have been calling for Australian doctors to refuse to participate. In his words: “By continuing to work within immigration detention we merely provide legitimacy to those who would lie and mislead the public into believing healthcare of a respectable standard is being delivered. By continuing we maintain and perpetuate suffering and injustice.” The <span class="companylink">Australian Medical Association</span> has long called for the repeal of sections of the Border Force Act and the immediate release of children from offshore and onshore detention centres into the community on the basis that “prolonged detention of children is a state-sanctioned form of child abuse”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The AMA has also called for the establishment of a transparent, national statutory body of clinical experts, independent of government, with power to investigate and report to the <span class="companylink">Parliament</span> on the health and welfare of <b>asylum</b> seekers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The reality is that Australian detention centres are not run in accordance with international agreements designed to protect human rights. They are different to camps run under <span class="companylink">UN</span> auspices or with a <span class="companylink">UN</span> presence. The <span class="companylink">UN</span> has condemned the way Australia runs the camps.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As a nation, we are not ignorant of the fact we are committing human rights abuses. We know Australia has ignored its obligations under the 1951 <b>Refugee</b> Convention and has broken faith with other <span class="companylink">UN</span> human rights conventions.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Australia has, for the first time in its history, a special paramilitary force, separate from the police and the defence forces, the uniformed Border Control Force, which operates under a veil of operational secrecy.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Australia has long passed the point where the notion that “the ends justify the means” was regarded as a bridge too far. It is entrenched in political culture so deeply that it has been normalised. We have reached a point where the deputy leader of the Labor Party, Tanya Plibersek, has described Australian policies to <b>asylum</b> seekers since 2001 as “toxic”, but then retreats into silence.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">So we have progressed.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">WE have broken faith with the basis of the Australian system of law and justice at its most fundamental.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We live in a society where for some people condemnation to indefinite imprisonment, for no crime at all, comes at the whim of ministerial opinion.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">At the time of writing, another story has just come to light, that of a Bangladeshi couple living in Melbourne since 2007, one a practising doctor and the other an academic at <span class="companylink">Monash University</span> , who have been denied permanent residency by the Immigration Department because their son has a disability.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It is to be hoped that Eva Orton’s film, Chasing <b>Asylum</b>, can be viewed internationally in conjunction with the Don Dale footage from the Northern Territory, and that Andrew Wilkie’s view that some Australian politicians be made to respond to war crimes accusations be extended to include crimes against humanity committed against their own people and against <b>asylum</b> seekers.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Tran Thi Thanh Loan had appealed to the court for leniency on the basis her husband was already serving a two-year jail sentence, leaving her the sole carer of their four children, aged four to 16.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The local district attorney prosecuting the case also supported Ms Loan’s appeal for probation, but the court last Friday rejected the appeal and ordered her to serve her sentence in full for helping organise an illegal departure in the family-owned fishing <b>boat</b>.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Neither she nor her husband were charged with people-smuggling, and both have denied suggestions they sought to profit from the journey, which included only family members and close friends.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Ms Loan yesterday told The Australian no one in her family could afford to look after her children.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“They have been crying a lot and clinging on to me,” she said. “My youngest child keeps saying ‘Mummy, don’t go’. My older children are worried. They feel the pressure and are scared of having neither parent around. They have asked if they can be sent to prison with me.” “The Australian side promised us no imprisonment and livelihood opportunity, Vietnam promised the same, but now my husband is already paying the price. I’m worried because the oldest child is still not old enough to take care of her siblings.” Ms Loan said she had not been given a date for her incarceration and was told only that “authorities will come when they come”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Earlier this month her husband was transferred to a prison seven hours’ drive from where the family lives.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He is not due for release until mid-2017.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Ms Loan’s lawyer, Vo An Don, described the sentence as “cruel and inhumane”. “Somebody told me if a free country out there accepts Vietnamese refugees, everyone would go,” Mr Don said. “Even the electric pole, if it could walk, it would leave too. Life in our country is backward, impoverished, and deprived of freedom.” Ms Loan said her family left because of a state seizure of family land, loss of livelihood from Chinese incursions into fishing grounds and institutionalised discrimination against Catholics.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Everyone was trying to play nice and manage a difficult debate then Kim went and trashed Tanya," a Labor Left MP says. "That was noticed at the time and a lot of people remembered it later."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Never short of enemies, Carr's factional colleagues were determined to vanquish him at the next chance. That opportunity came last week and they made their move.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"This is not about policy: it's f---ing personal," a Labor veteran says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The push threatened to trigger a new round of Labor destabilisation.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It looked like Carr was done for. Pretty much anyone else would have been. But, thanks to some fancy footwork by Carr and a decisive intervention by Shorten, he remains in shadow cabinet. "He is the ultimate political survivor," Nicholas Reece, former state secretary of the Victorian Labor Party, says. "Other people come and go, careers rise and fall, alliances shift. But Kim Carr survives and even prospers."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">An imposing figure with a sizeable girth and a bellowing voice, Carr has been a powerful force for over two decades. Variously described as "ruthless", "calculating" and a "headkicker", he has helped make and unmake prime ministers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While most politicians emphasise their humble origins, Carr can lay genuine claim to being a battler. His boilermaker father never owned his own home, and at one stage the Carrs lived in a caravan park in Gladstone with other struggling families.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">At Moreland High School, a history teacher fuelled his interest in politics by slipping him copies of socialist literature to read at home.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After studying at the <span class="companylink">University of Melbourne</span>, Carr became a history teacher and ran the Victorian teachers union. Following stints as a policy adviser for Victorian state governments, he entered the Senate in 1993, already a master of the dark factional arts.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Anthony Albanese, an ambitious left-winger from Sydney, joined Parliament three years later. The pair soon developed a rivalry that lasts until today. One former colleague describes their relationship as one of "brutal antipathy".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Drawing on different power bases in NSW and Victoria, the pair were competing for power on the left. And while Albanese was a solid supporter of Kim Beazley, Carr backed challenges against him by Simon Crean and Mark Latham.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In 2006 Carr cultivated an alliance between Julia Gillard and Kevin Rudd, convincing them they should join forces to depose Beazley. In government he supported Gillard's leadership challenge before later becoming a leading agitator for Rudd.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Shorten is the first leader he hasn't ratted on," a colleague says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Gillard dumped Carr from cabinet after many colleagues concluded he had been leaking damaging stories to the media. Carr, who declined to be interviewed for this article, has denied this charge.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Labor party frontbench is usually decided like this: the Left meets and decides their names, the Right does the same, then the leader allocates the portfolios.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This time the Left had decided Carr would not be included in their 14 names. Albanese, Plibersek, Wong, Mark Butler, Jenny Macklin, Catherine King, virtually the entire faction was against him.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"This wasn't just Albo against Kim - it was everyone against Kim," one MP says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Everyone has been burnt by him," says another. "Last week his peers said, 'Enough, we've had it'."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But Carr understood the numbers. With just three supporters he could form a new faction and claim a quota for a frontbench position. The Right, led by Shorten, agreed to recognise Carr's breakaway group. He had survived again, albeit bloodied.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We must prevent deaths at sea, but we don't have to inflict great cruelty on those who survive the journey to do it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">P rime Minister Malcolm Turnbull 's announcement of a royal commission into the abuse of children in Northern Territory jails gives an insight into his instincts on human rights. Turnbull said he was "deeply shocked" and "appalled" by the footage aired by Four Corners and acted swiftly in calling the inquiry. It was decisive action that shows the potential Turnbull has to lead on human rights more broadly. The reality is, from marriage equality to <b>refugee</b> policy, Turnbull has a golden opportunity to make progress, despite divisions in his own party and a complex Senate to navigate. In fact, it's precisely these challenges that create opportunities for more constructive, practical outcomes. Whereas his predecessor Tony Abbott took a polarising approach, Turnbull can build consensus. Australian democracy suffered under Abbott. Press freedom went backwards, secrecy flourished, whistleblowers who spoke out in the public interest were aggressively pursued, the <span class="companylink">Australian Human Rights Commission</span> was attacked, NGO advocacy was stifled and the rule of law was undermined.Turnbull can make progress here, in line with his party's stated aim of achieving an intelligent, free and liberal Australian democracy. Since taking office, he set a different course on some of these issues, but there's much more to be done. We need stronger whistleblower protections, more open government, better targeted counter-terrorism laws and respect for NGO advocacy. Turnbull will find friends across the political spectrum on such initiatives, and in particular from Nick Xenophon. On marriage equality, the Liberal Party should be guided by its constitution, which proclaims a belief in freedom and human dignity, including the freedom to choose our own way of living, subject to the rights of others. It recognises that family life is fundamental to the wellbeing of society. Marriage equality is inherently about these things. It is about government removing a barrier to allow individuals the freedom to choose to make a lifelong marriage commitment to each other. Clearly the best way to realise this is through a free vote in <span class="companylink">Parliament</span>,</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">but if that can't be achieved the plebiscite should be brought on. On Indigenous policy, Turnbull can reset the government's fractured relationship with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander leadership. This starts with engaging properly with the National Congress of Australia's First Peoples - the representative body for Indigenous people that was bypassed by Abbott for his own hand-picked committee. Turnbull should restore funding to Congress and look to the Redfern Statement, endorsed in June by Congress and a coalition of Indigenous organisations, as a platform of action. Change must come on <b>refugee</b> policy. Three years ago, then Prime Minister Kevin Rudd launched policies that unleashed great cruelty on innocent people who came here seeking protection - policies that saw people indefinitely warehoused on remote islands purportedly to be resettled anywhere but here. Three years on, the abject human failure of those policies is apparent. In our work, we see the damage first hand. The mental disintegration, self-harm and suicide. The sexual assault, injuries and deaths. The complete waste of human potential. No policy challenge justifies knowingly inflicting this harm. About 1500 people still languish on Nauru and Manus and a further 300 face deportation there. The government repeatedly refuses New Zealand's resettlement offers</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">while spending over $50 million in a failed attempt to send people to Cambodia and looking desperately to Kyrgyzstan, the Philippines or any other poor country to accept what is our responsibility. Turnbull and his Immigration Minister Peter Dutton concede that our policy is "harsh" and "the lesser of two evils" but maintain it's the only option to prevent deaths at sea. This is wrong and narrow thinking from the Prime Minister who called for an innovation and ideas boom. We must prevent deaths at sea but we don't have to inflict great cruelty on those who survive the journey to do it. We currently direct enormous financial, human and foreign policy resources propping up cruel deterrence measures that push refugees back on other countries. Instead, we could marshal these resources to provide safe pathways to protection for people fleeing harm, so that people don't have to choose between persecution in their home country, hopeless poverty and insecurity in a neighbouring country or risking their lives on a <b>boat</b> to try to reach safety and a future. The global summit being hosted by President Barack Obama in September will explore issues like these. Australia should attend the summit with an open mind and a commitment to co-operation and shouldering our responsibility. It is only by working constructively with other nations that we can find a sustainable solution. Our belligerent <b>refugee</b> policies have damaged our international standing and national interest. One initiative that can help turn this around is our election bid for membership of the <span class="companylink">UN Human Rights Council</span> . Membership of the Council would give Australia a seat at the table to address the gravest and most systematic human rights abuses facing the globe. The bid has bipartisan support and our platform is sound, with a focus on death penalty abolition, gender equality, Indigenous rights and more. But to be credible it must be matched by meaningful action at home and abroad. None of this will be easy. It will take determination and clever negotiation. But opportunity beckons for a legacy of more just and reconciled society, better protection of individual freedoms and stronger democratic foundations.

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I don’t know about you, but I never really thought of Sonia Kruger — a reality TV host previously best known for her ability to look good in a tropical fruit bikini — as an expert in immigration policy.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I never once wondered about her opinions on Australia’s foreign affairs. And whatever those opinions happened to be, I certainly never thought of them as being of critical importance to national debate.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And yet here we are, clutching our pearls and hashtagging all over the place because Sonia Kruger said something stupid on television.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And yes, it was stupid.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I’m sure Sonia Kruger is not stupid. Her long and varied showbiz career proves she is likely a very intelligent businesswoman. There is a lot to admire about her.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But she was given a national TV platform to comment on an extremely complex sociopolitical topic, about which she has no more informed opinion than the average person on the street, at a time when tensions are running high.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">She is not a diplomat. She is not an academic. She is not a seasoned political journalist or foreign correspondent.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Why do we care what Sonia Kruger thinks about immigration? Why should we care what anyone who isn’t fully informed on the issue, or involved in it directly, has to say?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I care what immigration minister Peter Dutton thinks about immigration. I care what Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull thinks about immigration. I care what <b>asylum</b> seeker support centres and aid workers think about immigration. I care what immigrants think about immigration.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For all I care about Sonia Kruger’s thoughts on Muslims, I might as well ask a post box for its opinion.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I’m not saying Kruger isn’t entitled to her opinion. I’m saying the only reason that opinion made national headlines is because everyone was mildly surprised to discover Tina Sparkle had thoughts on foreign policy.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A disproportionate amount of airtime and newsprint has been used dissecting Kruger’s words: whether she’s right, whether she’s wrong, whether she’s racist or whether she’s just “scared”, as The Project host Waleed Aly put it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Unsurprisingly, this has ultimately gotten us no further in finding a resolution to looming sociopolitical unrest.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Perhaps giving uninformed, “scared” people a national media platform to spout their views on sensitive topics they know little about isn’t helpful. Perhaps we don’t need reality TV hosts directing debate on complex political issues.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Kruger says her stance on banning Muslims was provoked by a photo of a child victim of the Nice terror attack, lying on the ground covered in a plastic sheet with a doll lying beside her.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I know how she feels. I remember a similar photo, of three-year-old Syrian boy Aylan Kurdi, his lifeless body washed up on the beach in Turkey after his family’s failed attempt to escape the relentless bombing and gunfire in their home country.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He died with his brother, Galip, five, and mother, Rehan. They were trying to get to relatives in Canada on a leaky <b>boat</b>, after the country rejected their <b>asylum</b> application.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Immigration, war, refugees, Islam, terrorism — they’re all highly complex, intertwined issues with no clear resolution.We don’t need hashtags or celebrity “feel-pinions”. We need informed discussion.</p>

Hungary was hardening its stance towards refugees attempting to enter the country and had started construction of a 4m-high barrier fence along the entire length of the frontier with Serbia.

Orang-utans are found in the wild only in the rainforests of Sumatra and Borneo, where numbers are falling sharply. They face a crisis in habitat, as logging activity, conversion to agriculture and fires consume their forests. They are also poached for the illegal pet trade. In 2015, wildfires devastated vast areas of rainforest in Sumatra and Borneo, driving out orang-utans and putting them in increased danger from poachers and into conflict with farmers as they searched for food.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A YEAR or more ago, Liberal MP Alan Tudge was sitting with a couple of colleagues in his office in Parliament House, thinking out loud about the public and political response to Islamist terrorism and the rise of the Islamic State .</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We need to own this debate,’’ he commented. “Because if we don’t, someone like Pauline Hanson will, and not in a good way.’’ The comments were made months before Ms Hanson flagged her intention to stand for the Senate on a platform that included halting Muslim migration, holding a royal commission into Islam, banning the burqa in public and putting a freeze on the building of new mosques.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Tudge, who went on to become the Human Services Minister, confirmed the comment and explained that by “own’’ the debate, he meant participate in an important discussion about a matter that the public was concerned about.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I meant if we don’t discuss this matter openly, maturely and honestly, we’d see a Pauline Hanson-type figure emerge who would lead the debate and would do so in a very blunt and divisive manner,’’ he told the <span class="companylink">Herald</span> Sun this week.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Fast-forward a year from Tudge’s comments and senator-elect Hanson is on her way back to parliament, with a share of the balance of power and with up to three running mates still in contention, as hundreds of thousands of people voted for her One Nation party. TV host Sonia Kruger has been belted up by the Twitterverse for saying that she was frightened of terrorism and believed there was some merit in the idea of halting Muslim migration.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And so the debate goes around in circles. Firstly, what is “the debate’’? At its core in Australia, it’s a conversation about why the extremist Islamic State (or Daesh) wants to harm people here, and how we should respond to this.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The debate covers everything from the role of social media, isolation of Muslim youth and lack of opportunity, claims of Islamophobia, appeasement, power plays within Islamic communities in the Middle East, national security and defence settings, culture clashes, migration policies, Brexit, and political responses.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There’s lots to talk about.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But Tudge was on to something when he identified it was difficult to ventilate this debate in Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Back in November, I wrote an article quoting a number of conservative MPs including Tudge, Michael Sukkar, Josh Frydenberg, Craig Kelly, George Christensen and Andrew Hastie where the MPs called for a debate on whether there were links between Islamic theological teachings and those teachings being used by extremists to inspire terrorism.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The article included comments from some MPs suggesting Islam needed to undergo a reformation similar to the one undertaken by Christianity, which allowed it to move beyond its early teachings.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The response was swift.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A former Palestinian-Kuwaiti <b>refugee</b> named Aladdin Sisalem lodged a VCAT claim against the <span class="companylink">Herald</span> Sun alleging he was religiously vilified by the article.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">His name might be familiar — he was the <b>refugee</b> who spent almost a year alone on Manus Island before being accepted into Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A taxpayer-funded duty lawyer was provided for his first appearance, although he was unrepresented when it went to hearing. The court provided him a translator for the final hearing (whom he then dispensed with at times and asked and answered questions himself in court). He applied to have his fees waived because he was a disability support pensioner. The case was thrown out this week after the VCAT member found Sisalem had failed to provide evidence other than his own opinion that the article vilified him. She found she was “not satisfied that the publication of the article incited or was likely to incite hatred against, serious contempt for, or revulsion or severe ridicule of, Muslims because of their religious beliefs”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I won’t say much else about Sisalem except to point out his disability support pension has now been withdrawn after it was found he had travelled overseas on 16 occasions, including to China, Russia, Thailand and Indonesia. His appeal against that was thrown out.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Earlier complaints that he was discriminated against by RMIT on the basis of his race were also thrown out in 2011 after no evidence could be found to sustain his complaint. He had complained, variously, that he and two other students and a teacher had been accused of cheating on an exam because they were “Arab”, that he had been assaulted by a teacher who choked him, that his advancement through his training degree was delayed and that a former teacher had suggested he buy a fishing <b>boat</b> — implying he was a people smuggler.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">More seriously though was the response from Australia’s spymaster, Duncan Lewis. The ASIO secretary-general was so concerned by the comments of the MPs that he rang them and asked them to tone down their language.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull later confirmed he had texted the mobile number of one of the MPs, war veteran Hastie, to Lewis. Lewis is known to have made a number of calls, including to Hastie and the then chairman of the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security, Dan Tehan.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Surely, in a robust democracy like Australia, there must be a way to have this debate without someone steaming off to court, and the nation’s chief spook hitting the phones?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Tudge is a calm and sensible bloke who has spent most of his career working on indigenous advancement policies. He’s the type of person who could hold this debate. He doesn’t agree with Kruger that Muslim migration should end, but congratulated her for having the “courage’’ to offer a public opinion.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Then there’s the comments this week from leading businessman Ahmed Fahour, a Lebanese-born, Melbourne-raised progressive Muslim and one of Australia’s great immigration success stories, who runs <span class="companylink">Australia Post</span> and founded the Islamic Museum of Australia at Thornbury.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I don’t have an issue with having the conversation,’’ he told the <span class="companylink">Herald</span> Sun yesterday.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While he didn’t agree with Kruger’s call for a ban on Muslim migration, which he believed was discriminatory and impractical, he also didn’t believe she should be so fiercely criticised for expressing a view. And, he said, he understood her fears about terrorism.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I worry that a lot about global terrorism has been really pushed hard by Daesh.’’ This is a timely and considered intervention from Fahour and he should be congratulated for his leadership.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">IMMIGRATION Minister Peter Dutton has filmed a video that will be sent throughout the world telling people smugglers the Turnbull government has been re-elected and its <b>boat</b> policy will not change.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Daily Telegraph has learned the video was made immediately after the election result was confirmed in the wake of speculation overseas that border protection policy in Australia could be softened if Labor won office or parliament was hung.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The two-minute video will be aired throughout Indonesia and is expected to be used in Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq and Iran.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Dutton starts by announcing he remains Immigration Minister, declaring, “any people-smuggling <b>boat</b> that attempts to travel to Australia illegally will be turned back”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We know that people smugglers have tried to sell the uncertainty around Australia’s election to convince vulnerable people to get onto unsafe boats,’’ he says in the video.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“My message to the people smugglers is: your boats will be turned back and that you cannot deliver what you are trying to sell. Our policy has not, and will not change. The Australian Government will continue our tough border protection stance and boats will never make it to Australia.” The Operation Sovereign Borders Joint Agency Taskforce will use the video through a range of social media and mainstream media options that are absorbed by people smuggling networks and people seeking <b>asylum</b>.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The <b>boat</b> issue was raised during the election campaign after more than 50 Labor MPs and candidates spoke out against the turnback policy. It also emerged Labor would abolish temporary protection visas which would provide a path to permanent residency.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Those reports were used by the sophisticated people smuggling networks to raise hope that <b>boat</b> policy would be watered down.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Dutton uses the video to reiterate there has not been a successful <b>boat</b> arrival for 700 days. A <b>boat</b> was turned around during the campaign.“For those attempting to travel by <b>boat</b> — please don’t waste your money or risk your lives — it’s just not worth it.”</p>

I started the day at 6am and scanned the papers, radio and TV news to see what’s happening out there in the world.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I went to our campaign headquarters and sat in on a volunteer training session, preparing for the massive logistical effort that is now right around the corner.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After the training, I went to speak at a <b>refugee</b> rally in Adelaide. I told the crowd that there is a better way to welcome people seeking <b>asylum</b>, in which we assess their claims for protection where they’re waiting (in Indonesia and Malaysia) so that they’re not forced on to a leaky <b>boat</b>.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I then made a quick stop by a community picnic before heading to the airport, ahead of our national campaign launch in Melbourne tomorrow.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">SUNDAY, JUNE 26 What a launch! Hundreds of people, inspiring speeches and hordes of volunteers who are ready to paint the country Green. We’re rolling out our biggest field campaign ever this election and the feeling is electric. Now it’s back to Adelaide for the final run towards polling day!</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">MONDAY, JUNE 27 I was up early this morning for interviews and then it was out to a pre-poll booth to hand out how-to-vote cards with some of our wonderful volunteers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A young woman and her son asked for a photo and then we got talking. She was an electrical engineer who had hoped to work on a large scale wind or solar farm in regional SA, but said that investment in renewables had dried up ever since the Liberals came to power.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“But I’m OK. At least I have a job,” she said, referring to the fact that unemployment has soared in our state under the Abbott/Turnbull government.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">TUESDAY, JUNE 28 This morning I went to the Central Markets with our candidate for Adelaide, Dr Sophie Guy, and spoke to shoppers about what’s important to them.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Beyond a decent coffee (thank you, Lucia’s Cafe!) most people wanted to know about the economy and the increasing gap between the rich and everybody else.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I said that balancing the Budget is a question of priorities. You’d be amazed how much money we could have for health and education if we stopped handing fistfuls of cash to the mining companies and the big four banks, made Superannuation fairer and didn’t go ahead with Turnbull’s tax cuts for the rich.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I then did an interview with the ABC before meeting with multicultural community leaders throughout the evening.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">WEDNESDAY, JUNE 29 I have my weekly grilling on Breakfast radio with Matt and Dave on Wednesday mornings. After some robust discussion with my fellow Senate candidates, we parted ways and wished each other the best of luck. I then got a quick breakfast in the car while making my way to the SKY News studio for my next interview.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After some time at a polling booth in the afternoon, I caught up with volunteers who were working on a phone bank until late into the night. Their enthusiasm is inspiring and I am so thankful, because they are the engine that’s driving this campaign.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">THURSDAY, JUNE 30 Today I spoke to the media with my Senate colleague Robert Simms about the imminent threat of <span class="companylink">BP</span> drilling for oil in The Great Australian Bight. The Greens believe that SA’s future is in renewable energy, not drilling for oil and nuclear waste dumps.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">My team and I then had a late night of preparation, with polls opening in just 36 hours!</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">FRIDAY, JULY 1 Campaign Headquarters was abuzz with action today. Volunteers were streaming in to collect their polling booth kits and receive final instructions ahead of the big day.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I spent the morning at a pre-polling station with Robert Simms and the Greens’ candidates for Adelaide and Sturt.

</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I keep looking at the numbers over and over again. More than 400,000 Australians chose to vote for One Nation in the Senate. Pauline Hanson will be elected as a senator for Queensland. It's possible - although not probable - she will have other senators as well. As I was never ever going to vote for Pauline Hanson's version of One Nation, I didn't explicitly seek to read her website or her policies. Now Hanson will, along with other senators, make decisions that affect us all so to truly understand what will happen to our country, we need to understand those who will make decisions on our behalf. I felt it was important to see exactly what she said about one of the issues that divides our nation, immigration.It's important to me because I am the daughter of refugees. My parents, now dead, were Holocaust survivors. Immigration policy matters because it also sets the tone for how Australians view those who seek refuge. This is Hanson's big play. But before I even got to the link on what she calls Illegal Immigrants & People Smugglers, I noticed this message: "We are putting the media on notice. If you can't report the facts without bias, forget it! We will use social media</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">and other avenues to inform the people of Australia." Direct to the people! So, can we trust Pauline Hanson's One Nation to report the facts? I asked three experts what they thought about Hanson's claims on Illegal Immigrants and People Smugglers: Professor Mary Crock, professor of public law at the University of Sydney and a specialist in migration, citizenship and <b>refugee</b> law; Kon Karapanagiotidis, the founder and CEO of the <b>Asylum</b> Seeker Resource Centre in Melbourne, Victoria, who was awarded an OAM for his services to <b>asylum</b> seekers; and Professor Kim Rubenstein, a citizenship law expert from the ANU College of Law and a public policy fellow at ANU. They helped me unpick the claims made and the language used by soon-to-be Senator Hanson. I hate the use of the word illegals. But Kim Rubenstein says: "The</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">terminology of illegal has evolved from the change in the migration law framework where any non-citizen entering Australia without a visa is formally an unlawful non-citizen. "It represents a tension between Australia's sovereignty as a nation to determine who comes in and out of its borders and its international responsibilities to uphold the convention relating to the status of refugees which supports individuals making claims for refugees status." So, it's not illegal to seek <b>asylum</b> - but the government has done its very best to persuade Australians that coming here for help is unlawful. Hanson's use of the word fits in with government policy. So what of the other claims? The first is this - in comparison with Liberal Party policies, Hanson's position on immigration is not extreme, say Crock and Karapanagiotidis. In fact, in many areas, the government's position is the same or harsher. The One Nation website says on its Illegal Immigrants link: "It has been reported that 80% plus arriving by <b>boat</b> or plane don't carry any form of identification ... anyone arriving without paperwork immediately denied entry and sent back to their last known port before arrival or their homeland."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Crock says: "This is what the government is doing. Many of Hanson's policies find expression in the current government." Of the demand by Hanson to restrict family reunions, Crock says: "Hanson is behind the times. Under Labor rule, laws ... were altered so as to make it practically impossible for refugees to sponsor family migration." And what of the demand by Hanson for Indonesia to impose a minimum 10-year jail term for people smuggling? Crock asks: "How can she dictate what Indonesia does? But Crock says there are other claims on the One Nation website that are irrelevant; for example, Hanson claims "<b>boat</b> people as reported, pay up to $20,000 to people smugglers for passage to Australia". Crock says that sum is probably a slight exaggeration but the more relevant comparison is this: "We have migrants paying $15 million for priority investment visas, so what is [Hanson's] point?" And as for Hanson's request for Australia to terminate being a signatory to the outdated 1951 UNHCR <b>Refugee</b> Convention, Crock is quick to remind Hanson the Legacy Caseload Act 2014, removed all reference to international conventions including the <b>Refugee</b> Convention from our migration law. However, Australia has not withdrawn from the Conventions. But Crock and Karapanagiotidis agree with Pauline Hanson that the amounts we spend on detention are simply outrageous - but for different reasons. Hanson, much like her fellow race warriors in Britain's Leave campaign, claim the money spent on refugees should be spent on citizens. Crock and Karapanagiotidis say those seeking refuge should be afforded basic human rights, and that includes the right to health care. Karapanagiotidis steps away from the Hanson claims to plead with Australia. "We must be concerned about the fracturing that is happening in our communities. We must call out racism and also recognise that social inequality is giving racism potency. "We should all be troubled. The fact that One Nation was able to outpoll the Greens in the Senate ... it's a global backlash, interconnected."Don't obsess over Hanson. She becomes the easy target and the low-hanging fruit. Our govern- ment says exactly the same things, but in a more sophisticated and nuanced way." We need one nation. Just not the one Pauline Hanson is proposing.

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">R ajith Savanadasa had written a few drafts of his first novel, and it wasn't working. It was supposed to be a big novel about a Sri Lankan family that also commented on the country, culture and politics and the civil war that had raged for 25 years and had cost the lives of an estimated 100,000 people. But the Melbourne-based writer had trouble figuring out how to integrate the family and the bigger picture. "It got terribly contrived," he says. "I was making my characters do things that would get the message across." He almost gave up. But then he began voluntary work with a group of <b>asylum</b> seekers in Darebin, interviewing them and recording their stories on a website, Open City Stories. "I'd be drawn into the story and I'd be moved. And I thought: These people are not really talking about the politics, they are just telling me their stories about what it was like to live in Iran or Bangladesh. "That made me think I had to forget about the idea of a message. I should just tell the story." He tells five intertwining stories in Ruins, a tale of a middle-class family in Colombo at the time the war was coming to an end. There's Mano, the editor of a local newspaper; his unhappy wife Lakshmi; their hustling son Niranjan; their Iron Maiden fan daughter Anoushka; and their humble servant Latha, who quietly runs the household. At first glance, the war seems far away, and the novel seems all about internal tensions in the family. But outside pressures intrude: an air raid, media censorship, road blocks, a missing boy, a dead soldier, Lakshmi's Tamil identity in a Sinhalese community - and an isolated but shocking moment of intimidating violence when a government minister visits Mano's office and casually smashes a picture of his family. "If I wrote the things that actually happened, you wouldn't believe it," Savanadasa says of his restrained portrayal. "One minister's kids were disciplined by a school teacher: he tied the teacher to a tree and had him flogged. The government at that time had so much power. They won the war and they had so much support from the Sinhalese majority. They acted on impulse and they got away with it." What happened at the end of the war is still contested, with accusations of war crimes on both sides. In the final offensive in 2009, hundreds of thousands of civilians were trapped on a narrow strip of beach between the two armies. The <span class="companylink">UN</span> estimates 40,000 of them died before the rebel <span class="companylink">Tamil Tigers</span> surrendered. In Ruins, these battles are vague rumours, while everyone rejoices at the government victory over the "terrorists". As Anoushka says of the air raid, "someone was probably going to die, but it was never anyone we knew". It was all part of the culture of oppression,</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Savanadasa says, which is why his characters turn a blind eye to what is going on. "You don't talk about things that challenge the status quo. You don't talk about anything too personal. You don't present as vulnerable at all. "Politics is a separate thing: That's just the politicians, they're not like us. Or, that's just happening in the north, we have nothing to do with it. I feel we do have to take some level of responsibility for what's happened - and what is still happening." Like most middle-class Sinhalese children in Colombo, Savanadasa grew up insulated from the conflict. His father was "something like an economist", head of the national chamber of commerce; his mother was a director of the tourist board, and still works as a teacher. They encouraged him to read, and he discovered everything from Frederick Forsyth thrillers to Somerset Maugham and Arthur C. Clarke in his father's home library. But writing was another matter. "Even now my mother says, 'It's a great hobby, but you have got a proper job?' " He never wrote anything except school essays, and it never occurred to him that he might become a writer; the choice was to study to become either a doctor or an engineer.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After high school, he came to Melbourne in 2001 at the age of 20 to study engineering at RMIT. It was a culture shock. "You lose your sense of self to a degree. Everyone around you doesn't recognise you, everything you have achieved doesn't matter. And there were two or three phases when everything I built up was taken away and I had to start again." Savanadasa struggled with a recurring sports knee injury that needed surgery. Although his parents gave him what they could, money was short and he had to support himself with part-time jobs. He had trouble with a room mate. He failed a few subjects. But in the end he got his degree. At the same time, he discovered writing. He took up creative writing as an elective subject in his final year, then got a job and went on to take RMIT's professional writing and editing course. At first he didn't know what to write about, and he imitated the styles of everything he was reading: magic realism, science fiction, playful</p>

Golden Hill is a joy. There hasn't been a recreation of 18th-century dialogue and literary style this rich and detailed since Thomas Pynchon's Mason & Dixon. If anything Francis Spufford wears his erudition more lightly, though his zany plot twists and infectious sense of fun are just as compulsively readable.</p>

Talent like hers is rare. Seamlessly blending ancient and modern impulses, the volume reveals a dedicated fabulist (all the author's invention and knowing charm are laid at the altar of storytelling) who catches the reader time and again with her capacity to seduce and surprise. One obvious influence is Angela Carter - though Oyeyemi's refashioned fairy tales, which include a bizarre take on Red Riding Hood, are by no means derivative. It's a collection as likely to remind you of the metafictional labyrinths of Borges as the brief, dense speculative fiction, approaching sci-fi, of China Mieville or Ursula Le Guin. Such comparisons don't quite capture Oyeyemi's emotional and intellectual range, nor do justice to her distinctive voice. You'll just have to read her yourself.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">When Michael Met Mina RANDA ABDEL-FATTAH PAN, $18.99 Issues fiction and teen romance collide in Randa Abdel-Fattah's When Michael Met Mina. The title characters first lay eyes on each other from opposing camps at a <b>refugee</b> rally. Mina's family escaped Afghanistan on a leaky <b>boat</b>, and spent time in detention before being released into the community. Michael's parents, however, are staunchly anti-immigration, having founded a political party called Aussie Values. As Michael falls for Mina and learns more about her story, and puppy love begins in earnest, he starts to question his parents' beliefs. The novel has plenty of multicultural vitamin (a shop that sells hijabs and jeggings, for one) and its target audience will find these characters lively and relatable. Politics are simplified and toned down, both for readership age and in the interest of a happy ending, but both sides are represented and the book's a neat springboard for discussion.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Everyone Is Watching MEGAN BRADBURY PICADOR, $32.99 Megan Bradbury's Everyone Is Watching tries to capture the mystery, allure and restless spirit of New York through fragmented (and fictional) portrayals of four prominent denizens - photographer Robert Mapplethorpe, literary stars Walt Whitman and Edmund White, and the architect of much of New York's cityscape, Robert Moses. We get a somewhat heavy-handed sense of a city in perpetual motion, over four time periods, that's often sublimated into erotic encounter. While there's an immediacy to Bradbury's fractured imaginings in the present tense, they never quite converge into something less ephemeral and, well, novelistic. It doesn't help that Everyone Is Watching is not as compelling as the very good biographies (at least of Mapplethorpe, Whitman and White) available.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Comrade Corbyn ROSA PRINCE BITEBACK, $39.99 This is a timely biography of a political conundrum, given the fallout from Britain's spectacular Brexit own-goal and given Jeremy Corbyn's seemingly equivocal campaign for the Remain side. Not that Rosa Prince's book needs this; she is a fine writer and captures the atmospherics of party dealings as well as the highly driven nature of Corbyn. The word that keeps cropping up is "unlikely" - especially the fact that a well-to-do upbringing in Shropshire produced a socialist. A puzzle? Not really, his parents were lefties. Besides, think Philby et al. Prince traces the emergence of his politics (always radical), slow rise in the Labour Party, relationships, the marriages that fell by the way, and - the most "unlikely" of all - becoming the leader of the Party: "accidental", or the zeitgeist speaking? And for how long?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Great Acceleration ROBERT COLVILE BLOOMSBURY, $27.99 Robert Colvile's study of our accelerating world to an extent merely details the obvious. And, as he admits, it's hardly a novel observation. Where he claims originality is in bringing together the significant threads of modern life - technology and its impact on us individually, on our private and romantic lives, as well as on families, work, politics and media - and to demonstrate how the god of speed has transformed them and us. Global capitalism, he says, has transformed us in the subtlest ways, right down to the pace of people on city footpaths: 10 per cent faster than 10 years ago. But he's not a doomsayer, maintaining that the future we are rushing towards will "bring terrors as well as wonders": the test for humanity being if "we become the slaves of the great acceleration, or its masters".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Radium Girls KATE MOORE SIMON & SCHUSTER, $32.99 In the early 20th century, radium was promoted as a health product. People were advised to drink it seven times a day. Dubbed "liquid sunshine", it went into lipsticks, facial creams and toothpaste. So the women who worked in US factories painting watches and clocks to glow in the dark had no fear: part of their work involved moistening the radium-covered brush with their lips. Kate Moore examines the story of what happened to the women through numerous case studies, such as Mollie whose first sign of concern was when a tooth fell out. The dentist couldn't help, eventually her jawbone disintegrated and she died at 24. In 1928, one company settled with the victims, and a decade later the dial-painters won their battle against the other company. But, as Moore says, "How quickly we forget".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Worst Woman in Sydney LEIGH STRAW NEW SOUTH, $29.99 Kate Leigh (1881-1964) seems to have had some cracking criminal competition for the title of Sydney's worst woman, but the police bestowed the honour on her. And she didn't like it, seeing herself as someone involved more in a sort of community service. This contradiction is at the heart of Leigh Straw's informed and entertaining study of the woman who landed in the Sydney underworld via a "wayward" upbringing in Dubbo and time in a reformatory, to become a crime celebrity: a madam with a string of brothels who ran sly grog and trafficked in cocaine. To Straw, she also pushed gender boundaries in terms of the usual passive, femme fatale depictions of women in crime. The police may have dubbed her Sydney's worst, but, in the "heart of gold tradition", spoke well of her at her funeral.</p>

</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A day may come when Malcolm Turnbull will come to see the solid kicking he received from voters last week as the best thing that ever happened to him. It has provided him with an opportunity to change course, and to free himself and many of the self-imposed limitations on his government. The question is whether he now has the courage to stare down a battered and bruised party. Liberals now have additional reasons for distrusting his judgment, and any number of old personal and ideological enemies have no new reason to cut him any slack. But if he is the nimble and agile gambler that he has pretended to be, he might well judge that the party has no appetite for further leadership instability and turmoil (and no obvious replacement for him). And he would do well to wonder if he has any choice if he is not to become a complete prisoner of his circumstances, lurching inevitably to defeat and destruction. Turnbull went into the election aligned with the conservative wing of the party, even the faith people had in him turned on his being regarded as a moderate and a liberal. He explicitly committed himself to the maintenance of key achievements and legacies, if they can be so called, of Tony Abbott, not least with boats and inaction on climate change. To this he added some vague mantras about a plan involving jobs, and, after Brexit, some soothing words about stability. One might be forgiven for thinking that his only purpose for being there was to save us from the risk of a return to the supposed social and economic nightmare of a Gillard government, and the return of <b>asylum</b>-seeking <b>boat</b> people, as well as some soothing stability from unexpected world events such as the British decision to leave the <span class="companylink">European Union</span>. The Coalition was not on a crusade that had the people talking. Whatever it all was, it failed to excite and inspire voters. There had been ample evidence they preferred the Coalition (at least under his leadership), and they did not fear, but did not love, the Opposition. But an effective and courageous campaign by Labor almost upset a tightly disciplined, but small target strategy by Turnbull. He had wanted to keep his policy options open, even if he seemed to be explicitly rejecting the opportunity to be his own man, rather than the creature and servant of his party, particularly its most truculent and embittered conservative wing. It was nearly fatal. He has no mandate for anything. Even if he claimed such a mandate, he now has no more power, indeed probably less, to force legislation through the Senate than he did before he called the double dissolution. He has energised and empowered a resurgent Labor. It may not play the bastard as thoroughly as did Abbott (and the whole Coalition, including Turnbull) during the Gillard government. But the Coalition could hardly complain if it did, the more so since it achieved what Abbott didn't - a higher proportion of the two-party- preferred votes, if not a majority of the seats. Mandates aside, the new government has little in the way of pet projects reflecting either ideological or personal predilection. Turnbull adopted the idea of a plebiscite on same-sex marriage but without any personal enthusiasm whatever. If the Coalition (and for that matter Labor) is committed to its <b>boat</b> interception policy, it is mostly for pragmatic purposes and conviction it is the only policy that can work. The differences between Labor and the Coalition on deficits, government debt and government spending are relatively minor. For the immediate moment, the task is of ordinary government, of keeping</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Turnbull in position to take risks and shake off shackles From Page 1</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">things ticking along rather than responding to any developing crises. What the narrow escape means is that Turnbull now has an excuse to resurvey the world, to refocus, and to reconsider the budget and the plan he put to the people. For all intents and purposes it did not deliver for him. One could almost say it was not endorsed by voters. In any event, it seems unlikely to go through Parliament in its present form, least of all with its cuts in company tax and concessions for high- income earners. Just as dangerously, the so-called "zombie" cuts to government expenditure made for far-away forward years in the 2014 Abbott-Hockey budget will soon have to be properly placed into the accounts, and, most likely, cannot be. The Coalition's pretence these cuts could be a part of its strategy to achieve budget balance, even as everyone knew they could not pass even a new Senate, was as much a lie as anything Labor advanced as Medicare scares. As he has by now admitted, the potency of the scares was that it fell on fertile ground, among people who had regularly seen Coalition ministers break promises about preserving and protecting the hospital and health insurance scheme. Turnbull has an</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">opportunity to dump bad policy and lose unpopular programs and plans while making a public virtue of having heard the message from voters. He can justify a radical turnaround by saying he has faced the reality of voters' choices about the composition of the new House of Representatives and the Senate, and adapted to circumstances. He can, in short, be agile, nimble, innovative, perhaps audacious and risk- taking. He can seize upon some "fact" - for example, the downgrading of Australia's credit rating - as an occasion for a new look at issues of revenue and expenditure. He can in the process adopt some of Labor's proposals and dump some of his own. That also gives him scope to contemplate some fresh expenditure, for example to address political problems in health and education. He probably must do this, if only in the form of acknowledgement that Labor's electoral platforms were a package of both cuts and expenditure. And that gives him some opportunity to make some running, even if he cheerfully admits he has freely borrowed policy and budget ideas from the Opposition. It ought to go without saying that Labor ought to be at least partially compromised in its capacity to resist measures it had proposed, particularly if the reinvented Turnbull was giving as well as taking.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The model for this could be, at least in part, Robert Menzies in 1962, just after he had his own near-death experience at the end of 1961. As with other close elections, the agony of 1961 was prolonged by a long period of waiting for postal and section votes. The last seat determined was Moreton, won by Jim Killen. Most of the legends about this, such as that he ultimately scraped in on Communist Party preferences, or that Menzies told him he was magnificent, are not true, but it was genuinely a close-run thing. Menzies, more properly Harold Holt, his Treasurer, had alienated voters (and Sir Warwick Fairfax) with a sharp contraction of credit from financial institutions. This had sent some lenders and borrowers to the wall and caused what was in those days regarded as an unemployment crisis. Labor proposed to deal with the problem (caused by monetary policy) with fiscal policy: by government spending programs. During the election campaign Menzies declared the Labor program to be wildly inflationary, and asked where the money was coming from. Labor won more than 50 per cent of the vote, and took 17 seats from the Coalition. But it ended up with 60 seats to the Coalition's 62. When the new Cabinet was formed, a number of spending proposals came quickly up before it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">One minister said: "We can't do that. It's straight out of the Labor platform that we so strongly attacked." Menzies is said to have replied that if the policies were good enough for half the population they were good enough for him.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In normal circumstances abrupt changes of policy, and abandonment of some of the set-piece rhetoric about the profligacy of Labor ideas, might seem a difficult message to sell to voters, the party, and the parliamentary party. The party is still dominated by conservative voices. But there are some arguments for a reboot. First, despite the efforts to pretend a massive gap between Labor and Coalition ambitions for the budget bottom lines, the differences are relatively trivial. And the slightly more conservative Coalition figures are bedevilled by the zombie cuts, which must probably be, at some stage abandoned. In the new Parliament no mainstream party, Labor, Liberal or National is going to be too pure about money. It may be that the Coalition still wants to foster the legend that the economy went to hell under Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard. But it is becoming increasingly difficult to pretend the Coalition has proven more virtuous or has seriously addressed public spending in a way that has been better than Labor. There are other problems or</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">circumstances that can be said to require a complete review of economic policy. Coping with Nick Xenophon, with the interests of South Australian Liberals and, at least to some extent, with Pauline Hanson means the Coalition must formally abandon some of its pure-market, no-subsidy rhetoric, if only to cope with demands for preferences for Australian steel, controls over foreign investment and so on. Just how any measures designed to appease these interests can fit in with our so-called much-boasted free-trade agreements is not clear. But it does seem clear that the benefits such deals promise are likely to be realised in the short term, while world trade and growth are so much in the doldrums. None of this requires that the Liberal Party must abandon claims to greater fiscal rectitude and prudence, of being less inclined to regulate than Labor, and less attracted to policies and programs that interfere with the operations of the market. Nor does it require Turnbull abandon the claim that he, as a successful businessman, is more fey and sound on the state of the economy, or that interest rates and government debt and deficits will always be lower under the Coalition. For that matter, Labor (which has, over the past few decades, moved sharply to the right on economic issues) can always</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">comfortably admit it is rather more inclined to use the collective resources of society to the public good, even as it seeks approximately the same fiscal outcomes.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Last week, I wrote of the risk that a re- elected Turnbull would have even less "mandate" to be himself - the political moderate - than he had through the first nine months of his prime ministership. He had, after all, campaigned hard on conservative issues, and denied he would shift. But that was when I was expecting thathe would have a comfortable, if reduced, majority. In his present situation he has some reason for arguing he needs a freedom to manoeuvre that he would not need if he were simply presiding over business as usual. Could this give him scope to "discover" some new technology or argument for a super-duper, rather than a second-rate NBN? Could some sense of crisis about the Great Barrier Reef suggest fresh needs to look at government policies on climate change or carbon emissions? Could the "success" of <b>boat</b> interceptions provide some occasion for humanising our treatment of <b>asylum</b> seekers, here or abroad? Might we see good Malcolm rather than robot Malcolm?

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">UWA PUBLISHING, $24.99</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">You could do a lot worse than to read this fine book in conjunction with seeing Eva Orner's compelling documentary, Chasing <b>Asylum</b>.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In some ways, the two works are chalk and cheese. Orner's film is set in a recognisable here and now. It includes maps of Manus Island and Nauru, statistics, quotes from politicians and so on. Most viewers will wish it were a fantasy. But it isn't. Nearly all of the footage has been surreptitiously obtained from offshore processing centres; many of the characters need to remain anonymous. Chasing <b>Asylum</b> is telling a story we are not supposed to hear.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">John Hughes' novella, <b>Asylum</b>, is no less astringent and tough-minded. It is a more abstract meditation on similar themes to those at work in Chasing <b>Asylum</b> but with an underpinning as much in philosophy as in any immediate political crisis.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It is a fantasy with a firm basis in the reality of displacement, loss of identity and the search for sanctuary. But its narrative is fractured, floating and elusive. Hughes makes a powerful statement by avoiding statements. His poetic prose is prepared to exercise the reader. This is good. He is dealing with issues about which it doesn't hurt to sweat.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph"><b>Asylum</b> is also compassionate, especially in depictions of violence and its aftermath. The demise and suicide of a woman called Veza, including the words she leaves behind, are handled with bruising gentleness. Above all, <b>Asylum</b> has a rich understanding of the nature of language and the challenge of making something from mere breath.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On several occasions, the book observes that the word sanctuary has origins in ideas of holiness and the sacred. In this story, it is an experience of confusion and alienation. It has a different way of describing the miasma that surrounds those who have no sense of belonging and little sense of what the future might hold.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As <b>Asylum</b> opens, the central figure, Baba, appears before an official. He is asked where he comes from and replies he comes from the past. Because his name is misunderstood, he is put to work as a barber. In fact, he has been a thief or, as his father calls it, a scavenger. His wife and son are dead. His friend, Esh, has been murdered. He dreams of falling from a small <b>boat</b> into the sea. "It was as if his mind had gone out into the world and become the mind of all things around him."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This is the point at which a conventional narrative of flight, if there is such a thing, becomes something more searching and even more desperate. It is hard to convey the depth and subtlety of the manner in which Hughes' innovative fiction goes out to embrace all things. At one point, the book suggests that all language aspires to a condition of meaninglessness. It is not prepared to accept this contention without a strenuous fight.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph"><b>Asylum</b> compares itself to Kafka and does make reference to the idea of metamorphosis. But its kindred spirit is just as much Dostoyevsky, especially the guiding light that describes the existential darkness of Notes from the Underground and The Double.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The difference is that alienation seems to be inflicted upon Kafka's characters from outside. In Dostoyevsky, the inner and outer worlds touch each other, a bit like continental plates. <b>Asylum</b> observes the shaping of souls. It is hard not to be moved.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Lovers of short fiction will delight in Helen Oyeyemi's What Is Not Yours Is Not Yours. Talent like hers is rare. Seamlessly blending ancient and modern impulses, the volume reveals a dedicated fabulist who catches the reader time and again with her capacity to seduce and surprise. One obvious influence is Angela Carter - though Oyeyemi's refashioned fairy tales, which include a bizarre take on Red Riding Hood, are by no means derivative. They're also only one strand in the author's web, which condenses a vast imagination into so dense a weave you wonder how it all holds. It's a collection as likely to remind you of the metafictional labyrinths of Borges as the brief, dense speculative fiction of China Mieville or Ursula Le Guin. Such comparisons don't quite capture Oyeyemi's emotional and intellectual range, nor do justice to her distinctive voice.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">When Michael Met Mina</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">RANDA ABDEL-FATTAH</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">PAN, $18.99</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Issues fiction and teen romance collide in Randa Abdel-Fattah's When Michael Met Mina. The title characters first lay eyes on each other from opposing camps at a <b>refugee</b> rally. Mina's family escaped Afghanistan on a leaky <b>boat</b>, and spent time in detention before being released into the community. Michael's parents, however, are staunchly anti-immigration, having founded a political party called Aussie Values. As Michael falls for Mina and learns more about her story, he starts to question his parents' beliefs. The novel has plenty of multicultural vitamin (a shop that sells hijabs and jeggings, for one) and its target audience will find these characters lively and relatable. Politics are simplified and toned down, but both sides are represented and the book is a neat springboard for discussion.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Everyone is Watching</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">MEGAN BRADBURY</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">PICADOR, $32.99</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Megan Bradbury's Everyone is Watching tries to capture the mystery, allure and restless spirit of New York through fragmented (and fictional) portrayals of four prominent denizens - photographer Robert Mapplethorpe, literary stars Walt Whitman and Edmund White, and the architect of much of New York's cityscape, Robert Moses. Three of these figures are queer, and we get a somewhat heavy-handed sense of a city in perpetual motion, over four time periods, that's often sublimated into erotic encounter. While there's an immediacy to Bradbury's fractured imaginings in the present tense, they never quite converge into something less ephemeral and, well, novelistic. It doesn't help that Everyone is Watching is not as compelling as the very good biographies (at least of Mapplethorpe, Whitman and White) available.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Golden Hill</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">FRANCIS SPUFFORD</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">FABER & FABER, $32.99</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This brilliant comic homage to 18th-century picaresque - the literature that defined the contours of the modern novel - is period entertainment of a high order. A young man, one Mr Smith, arrives from London in pre-revolutionary New York, with a bill of exchange valued at an astonishing £1000. Before he can get his hands on the fortune, he's thrown into a scheming social milieu, where ruses, romance and rumour await. Just when it seems he'll be overwhelmed by incident, the apparent innocent reveals a secret of his own. Golden Hill is a joy. There hasn't been a recreation of 18th-century dialogue and literary style this rich and detailed since Thomas Pynchon's Mason & Dixon. If anything, Francis Spufford wears his erudition more lightly, though his zany plot twists and infectious sense of fun are just as compulsively readable.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There are more than 150 ways to say welcome in Dandenong.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I'm 59 and I've never been to Dandenong.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Then I read about it in the RACV magazine and at the first opportunity, I'm powering down the Princes Highway. Before you can say, Pazar yeri nerede? (Where's the market?) I'm queuing at the Turkish kebab store, which boasts the finest gozleme in the city. There's so much to look at in the vast Dandy market - from leopard skin bras (for extremely large bosoms) to tall brass vases that evoke the spirit of Ali Baba; from leather belts, rugs, acrylic wigs and pet supplies to yellow diamond signs that say, Caution, Farting Zone.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This happens to me in foreign countries. I find myself standing stock still, entranced and gaping.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Sister! Sister!"</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I realise that's me. I'm keeping the Turkish man waiting. I order a chicken kebab with lashings of garlic sauce and find a bench to sit on.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Greater Dandenong is home to people from more than 150 countries. More than 2200 migrants settle in Dandenong every year. They have about 3000 <b>asylum</b> seekers living in the community, the highest number in any Victorian local government area.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I would say that this Tuesday, they're all here. You might think your suburb is multicultural. But this is something else.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It occurs to me that if you stand under the clocks at Flinders Street Station and ask people what they consider the most important contribution migrants have made to the cultural life of Melbourne, most people will say, the food.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Multiculturalism rescued Anglo-Australians from the chop and three veg. Hallelujah!</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This is true, of course. But sometimes I wonder if we are in danger of turning multiculturalism into a lifestyle-enhancer, like yoga, <span class="companylink">Instagram</span>, veganism, the 5/2 diet and rescue dogs.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It reminds me of the 1960s, when plummy English radio announcers said things like, "ethnic minorities, with their traditional, national costumes, add a splash of colour to the excitement of the Moomba parade".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Sitting in the middle of the Dandenong market, you cannot help but acknowledge that this place must be one of the greatest success stories of social cohesion in modern history.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Like the US and Canada, Australia is a country of BECOMING. You can travel here and BECOME Australian. We take that fact so much for granted that many of us forget just how miraculous that is. In Japan, an outsider cannot become Japanese. I doubt that an outsider can become Irish. But Australians institutionalise and celebrate the processes by which an outsider can join the party. If you doubt that, you should come to Dandenong.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I have booked tickets to see an event called Journeys of Courage at the Drum Theatre. The Drum occupies the splendid old town hall, with its 19th-century-boom-style classicism and clock tower, and a rather striking contemporary addition at the back. The theatre itself is great.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While we wait for the show to begin, we are treated to a short film that shows Dandenong people of all ethnicities, faiths, ages and body shapes, each holding up a sign that says "Welcome" in English while they say, "Welcome" in their first language. It is a simple idea. Cheap to make, but exquisitely moving. A series of open-hearted welcomes from the city that is an official <b>Refugee</b> Welcome Zone, one of 40 in Victoria.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This is followed by an ebullient and personal welcome from Springvale-born comedian Diana Nyugen, who is convening the event. Her mother is a Vietnamese <b>refugee</b> who comes on stage later in the evening.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It transpires that most people in the audience are migrants and their families. We hear from a gentle and thoughtful Afghan, Mustafa Najib, who arrived on the very <b>boat</b> rescued by the Tampa in 2001. This is the incident that prompted John Howard to coin the election-winning phrase, "We will decide who comes to this country and the circumstances in which they come".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">These were the people whom Howard's ministers, Peter Reith and Philip Ruddock, worked so hard to dehumanise as "human cargo", aliens without names. Mustafa Najib was one of them. He now works as a cultural liaison officer and community development worker for the City of Greater Dandenong. He is also a freelance translator and interpreter. Najib spent two heartbreaking years in detention on Nauru. He says that what gave him hope during that time was the letters he received from Australians of goodwill, who wanted to offer welcome. One of the women who wrote to him is in the audience.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Next we meet Mariam Issa, a tall, elegant Somali woman wearing a purple scarf wrapped, turban-style, around her head. She undertook a remarkable journey from war-torn Somalia and now lives in Brighton with her husband and five children. Issa is a woman of such grace and wisdom you cannot imagine anyone in the audience not falling instantly in love with her. In her backyard, she has created a garden that is a meeting place for women. This, she tells me later, is like a passage from the Koran. There are two different oceans. One saltwater, one freshwater. Fish from either ocean cannot just be deposited in the other water and expect to survive. There is a place to acclimatise. The Arabic word for this place is "barzakh".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"This is my Brighton garden. A place of energy, a bridging place to adapt and become accustomed to each other." This is not just between black and white. "This is across the economic divide."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I cannot imagine the wealthy white women of Brighton coming to sit in a Somali woman's garden. But they do. Issa chides me gently. "You have to be careful of stereotypes."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Sometimes, on the speaking circuit, she meets angry people, who say, "how come a <b>refugee</b> gets to live in Brighton?"</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">She and her family live in a government house.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I ask whether she feels like an insider or an outsider. "Oh, an insider," she says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Hers has been a journey from victimhood to empowerment. And it's been a long road. From the moment of her birth, her father expressed his disappointment that she was female. "Perhaps we should name her 'Masaar' (an axe)."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">She well understands the struggle to overcome feelings of shame, unworthiness and fear. "I had to learn to trust, and to trust myself, before I could do anything," she tells the spellbound crowd in Dandenong, many of whom are young African women. "Western women have been a great inspiration to me."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In 2012 she started RAW - Resilient Aspiring Women - a thriving multicultural group who come together to garden, tell stories, cook and make things.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"So what do you think of our politicians?" I ask.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">She sighs. "Disappointing. But in the end we have to be the moral compass. Politicians come from us. So where did we go wrong? I can't change someone else. I can only ask, 'What can I do?"'</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Then up jumps Somali-born Abdi Aden, community worker, speaker, author - hilarious, eloquent and powerful. He was 16 when he arrived in Melbourne. No English, no family, no money. Before war shattered Somalia, he grew up believing his homeland was a type of paradise. He was nicknamed "the Shining One". Life was sweet. Then civil war exploded in the streets and he was separated from his family. Aden made a journey to Kenya, then back to Somalia to search for his family, then on to Romania, Germany and finally here, to Melbourne.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In his book, Shining: The Story of a Lucky Man, Aden writes: "You are not a <b>refugee</b> simply because you have no home and no country. No, you become a <b>refugee</b> little by little. It's not that things become more hopeless with each passing day, it is that you adapt to the hardship and, in a way - this will sound mad - you become an expert in hardship. You learn to sniff out relief, a free meal, a place of shelter that is available only for a day ... you seem almost to pick up the scent of kind people ... The No.1 rule is this: Stay alive. Things might get better one day."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And get better they did. Aden now has a wife and a family of his own. He has a university degree and is renovating his own home. He loves Australia. "If I'd stayed in Somalia, I wouldn't have friends from Afghanistan, Vietnam, Italy and China."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Aden appeared on series two of the <span class="companylink">SBS</span> documentary Go Back to Where You Came From. When he is asked what he says to people who tell him to go back home, he says: "I tell them, 'No, thanks. Madmen with AKs will kill me'." And then he asks: "Don't you want me here? Really? With these good looks?"</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">These are strong and courageous people. Resilient people. As Abdi Aden puts it: "All the forces ranged against me will have to contend with my determination to stay alive, keep breathing, love and be loved."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">So what does multiculturalism mean to me? Sheer inspiration.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Cathy McGowan, the regional Victorian independent who twice vanquished Liberal Sophie Mirabella, is a keen student of history and modern events have provided her with “some lessons” in how to approach her role as likely kingmaker in another hung parliament.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While the member for Indi, a seat with a conservative streak that hasn’t voted Labor since before the Great Depression, won’t yet mark her position on providing support to either Malcolm Turnbull or Bill Shorten, she is watching events unfold “very closely”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We’ve got a bit of time up our sleeves for the commonwealth because we’ve got to wait for those numbers to come in,” she told The Australian in Wangaratta yesterday.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“When more numbers come in, I am watching very closely and talking to everybody but I am sort of reserving my judgment on that one because I think with 2 million votes yet to happen there is an enormous number of hypothetical events that might happen so I might just mind my patch for a bit.” Ms McGowan, who has a liberal worldview, supports marriage equality, voted against the repeal of the carbon tax and has advocated for a more humane bipartisan solution to <b>asylum</b>-seekers who arrive by <b>boat</b>.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Nevertheless, she voted with the Coalition more than 440 times in the last parliament compared to more than 30 with the opposition.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">She is relishing the spotlight being on the electorate.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“It wasn’t that people (voters) were tired; it’s that we thought we could have something better for ourselves. Being a safe seat doesn’t deliver,” she said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The nation has been here before.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In the 2010 election country independents Tony Windsor and Rob Oakeshott both sided with the Labor government under Julia Gillard. Both recontested this election and lost.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I did a history major in university and I am a great believer in studying history and I have certainly read widely on all that experience and tried to learn as many lessons as I could from it,” Ms McGowan said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Ms McGowan will not say whether she believes Mr Windsor and Mr Oakeshott were punished by the people who voted them into power.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I couldn’t say, I really don’t know. I will think about it and I will probably form an opinion on it but I couldn’t say,” she said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">What she does know is this. There will be no special deals and no, she won’t become the Speaker of the parliament.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“You can’t vote if you are the Speaker. I fought so hard to get the vote,” she said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I thought it was an interesting idea but I thought, oh no, I don’t want to be the speaker.” Voters in Indi are reluctant to put themselves in her shoes but a theme emerges: it’s probably best if she sides with the Coalition.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Frank’s Footwear owner John Sirianni, 61, says whatever happens he hopes Ms McGowan backs the party who best sticks up for small business. He has a sign on the front of his store: Save the <span class="companylink">Country Fire Authority</span>, a state issue which bled into the federal campaign.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“They all carry on like bloody kids in parliament. There is not much difference between the two parties,” he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“But I can tell you it is bloody hard to run a small business. We’ve had this business for 60 years in our family and we own the land. I don’t know how people do it when they have to pay rent, too.” Baker Caitlin Miller, 21, voted for Ms Mirabella followed by the Nationals. She said the decision was one for Ms McGowan.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I personally didn’t vote for her but this is up to her now. I think Malcolm Turnbull is proposing the better options for the country,” she said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A local cafe owner who did not want to be named said Ms McGowan should back the side that received the most votes in the electorate: the Coalition.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Both Malcolm Turnbull and Bill Shorten have been in touch with Ms McGowan, who said her “negotiating matrix” involved many factors.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Stability is important, the ability to work together is really important, relationships are really important, morals and values are really important,” she said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“It’s the history you bring, the respect people show, and clearly regional Australia is really important to me.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Infrastructure translates to a commitment by the government to invest in rural and regional Australia.”But first, the wait for the final state of play.</p>

Yes, we'd have to put up with more loonies. Yes, we'd get more parties that I would hugely oppose, instead of just largely oppose, but heck, that's democracy. Alas, it ain't gonna happen. Ever. Our two major parties want to keep the game to themselves. They have always sought to destroy alternatives: the Australian Democrats, One Nation, the Greens. They damn them for not being real parties of government, which is totally disingenuous - they don't want more viable alternatives. Neither major party would even propose let alone support such a referendum. Besides which, we voters would never support such a change. Many would argue "if it ain't broke don't fix it". I disagree: I think our system is badly flawed if not broken. Many of us can't elect people that truly represent us, and so feel disenfranchised. Ultimately we're stuck with a choice of two depressingly</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Parties out of touch Speaking as a typical swinging voter, who, according to the polls, make up 40 per cent of the voting population, I found it hard to believe how out of touch both major parties were. This was reflected in the large vote for independents. I imagine all voters have four major interests. The first is to have enough income to live comfortably. The second to have the less fortunate provided for. Third, that all of us have access to affordable accommodation. Last, but in no way least, that all of us have a livable future to look forward to. Mr Turnbull, as spokesman for his party, failed to nail most of the four concerns. Tax cuts for large international firms that are already manipulating their income to avoid paying more than a modicum of their fair share of tax went down with the voters like a lead balloon. Trying to preserve negative gearing which provably puts up the price of housing even more so. The worst disillusionment to my mind was that Mr Turnbull, of whom we all had high hopes, turned out to just another Liberal conservative. Howard Carew, Isaacs</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Stability not the be-all Stability in government is</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">overrated. The Soviet Union had extreme stability for 80 years and the vicious Franco dictatorship in Spain for some 40 years. Both are now unlamented in their passing, particularly because of the human rights abuses and other suffering inflicted on their respective citizens. Give me coalitions, negotiation and checks on power any day. David Jenkins, Casey</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Undone by greed Remember the fable of the dog who saw a dog with bigger bone under a bridge. He dropped his bone (into a pond under the bridge) to chase a bigger bone that was his (lost) bone's reflection in the pond. Malcolm Turnbull made the same mistake. He dropped his 15-seat "bone" into a double- dissolution "pond". In seeking a more compliant Senate (that would pass his anti-union legislation) Turnbull created a hostile Senate, a hung parliament and vengeful Liberal MPs. As Robert Burns said: "The best-laid plans of mice and men oft gang awry." Graham Macafee, Latham</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Depends who's lying On the subject of Mediscare and The Big Lie. During the lead-up to the 2001 election the Coalition claimed that children had been thrown overboard by <b>asylum</b> seekers on a <b>boat</b> to create sympathy for their</p>

A Senate Select Committee inquiry the following year into "a certain maritime incident" found that Howard government ministers knew before the election that no children had been thrown overboard or had been at risk of it. A Big Lie before an election must be all right if the right side is telling it. Athene Anderson, Fisher</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">George Brandis slams Labor for skewing the election result with fraudulent lies about Medicare. He should look into the darkest part of the Liberal soul and find the foulest fraud there of the Children Overboard fraud of 2001. Then go and clean up his bookshelves. Marguerite Castello, Griffith</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor told truth Privatisation isn't just about selling off public assets to the private sector, such as the <span class="companylink">Commonwealth Bank</span>, <span class="companylink">Telstra</span> or Medibank. It is also about other ways of delivering or funding public services. This includes a shift from public to private delivery (outsourcing) or shared delivery (public-private partnerships) or a shift away from public more to private financing (user-pays). Labor and the Greens are correct in arguing that Medicare was to be further privatised by the Coalition, because users would have been required to use more of their private funds to receive health services. Arrangements like freezing rebates, charging co-payments to GPs, removing health insurance rebates all lead to higher private payments and are, therefore, ways of privatising health. Perhaps senior Coalition ministers might choose to focus more on whether user-pays in health is equitable, efficient or sustainable. This would be a more productive debate than continuing with their rant about a dishonest Mediscare campaign. Chris Aulich, Giralang</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Coalition failed by not accentuating the negative</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We need to consider the worst possible outcome for the country — an election where neither party produced enough seats to win, a rabble of a Senate and a political climate where any reform is stymied by a scare campaign, a parliamentary block or both.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Shaping this outcome is a drift away from the major parties to a range of minor parties, indepen­dents and cult figures — candidates who offer few solutions but loads of empathy for various grievances. Voters, the media, electoral rules and global trends all contri­buted to producing these outcomes — this culture — but in the end the major parties have to ­address their own performance.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor’s initial euphoria is bound to be tempered if the ­Coalition forms government ­because it will realise its primary vote is stuck at historically low ­levels and unless it recaptures the political centre, it might be destined to become nothing more than the lead player in future Green Left coalitions.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But on the centre-right side of politics, the ramifications are much more pointed. Counter­intuitively the times suit the ­Coalition. As I argued at the weekend, mainstream concerns about people-smuggling, national security, energy prices and economic malaise can provide the natural turf for right of centre ­parties — if only they are willing to confront and talk frankly about these issues.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Too often they are not, and the mainstream base feels alienated. But these voters head to options other than Labor — such as One Nation on the right or the Nick Xenophon Team, which claims to be centrist (but, like One Nation, preaches an old-Left economic message of intervention and protection).</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">So the point here is not that the Green Left parties are resurgent, or that new issues are emerging out of nowhere. It is more a case of the centre-right losing touch with its mainstream base — not being able to adequately cater to its ­moderate and conservative spectrums at once.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There will be intense focus now on Malcolm Turnbull’s campaign and how it failed to strike the right chords. Many serious ­Coalition players are questioning the strategy.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">First, a honeymoon election opportunity was missed through indecision early in the year, before a couple of months when the government appeared directionless.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Then, throughout the campaign we waited to see the Liberal attack on Labor. When was Turnbull going to detail the risk of ­returning to Labor: the risk of chaos on our borders; higher electricity prices, deeper deficits and higher debt?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Early on it seemed that with such a long campaign they were leaving those negative aspects for later. It was also clear Turnbull wanted to exude optimism and stability and wasn’t comfortable on the attack, so we expected other ministers to take up the cudgels.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Then, when that never really materialised, it seemed obvious we would see a ferocious advertising campaign in the final weeks. ­Instead we saw those staid commercials with Turnbull outlining his economic plan. A vulnerable Labor leader never really had to duck a blow.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There were some attempts to highlight the Labor risk — a couple of news conferences from Peter Dutton on boats and Scott Morrison on the budget, and some sharp lines from Turnbull in one debate and in his official launch speech — but overall the aggression from the Coalition, the negative push against Labor, was noticeable by its absence.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This is not a hindsight view — many of us decried this lack of product differentiation throughout the campaign, along with the inability of the Turnbull team to go on the front foot. Right at the outset of the campaign, in these pages, I observed the government was “defensive, ill-disciplined and vague”, and that this communications weakness would prove crucial: “If this doesn’t improve, the Coalition will lose. Without better communications it won’t effectively extol its strengths or put Labor under pressure over its weaknesses, ­including its appalling record on economic man­agement, climate policy and border protection.” There were times during the campaign when Turnbull hit his straps. But what never came was a sustained attack on Labor’s ­vulnerabilities. Indeed the reason so many of us expected the ­Coalition to win — despite the published polls predicting something ­approa­ching this stalemate — was how it stuck rigidly with its positive strategy and exuded confidence publicly and privately. Most pundits, myself ­included, presumed its marginal seat polling must have told it this strategy of staying above the fray was paying off in the seats that mattered.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Either its internal polling misled it or it failed to ­respond to warning signs. Because even in the dying days, instead of pleading with the nation to avoid a possible return to Labor chaos, the Prime Minister was telling the world he was “quietly confident”. Surely it would have been better to focus voters’ minds on the real chance of a change in government.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The nonchalant, positive and frontrunning style of his campaign contrasts to what we know we would have seen from the political scrapper, Tony Abbott. The former leader would have warned the public every day about the prospect under Labor of <b>asylum boat</b> trauma, national security weakness, budget disasters and a raft of new taxes. He said as much — even during the campaign.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Turnbull was subjected to perhaps the most viciously dishonest scare campaign we have ever seen over the absurd notion of privatising Medicare. Yet here, again, he let himself be put on the defensive, denying any disguised intentions, instead of counter­attacking about the greatest threat to Medicare being Labor’s deeper deficits.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We will never know how ­Abbott would have performed but the framing and execution of this campaign is generating heated ­behind-the-scenes debate and dissent within the Coalition. And one thing we do know is that by indulging in a leadership coup themselves, the Coalition’s so-called bedwetters robbed themselves of a stark contrast of stability against past Labor shenanigans.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We do not know if Turnbull can form government, Labor can take power in a minority alliance or, heaven forbid, we will go back to the polls. But if the Coalition is to govern or campaign effectively in the near future, stability will be the key. And that won’t be achieved without bringing back Abbott into the cabinet and back into the frontline of political combat.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Turnbull and Abbott have faced off against each over for seven years now, periodically tearing their party apart along the way. Ironically, one of the Prime Minister’s great advantages now is that the public has had enough of contrived leadership changes.So Turnbull needs to take charge and lead forward. He has many political, parliamentary and policy challenges. But without ­Abbott alongside him it will be ­impossible to demonstrate to his party and the nation that he is ­listening to the broad sweep of the mainstream and that all ­Coalition MPs are pushing in the same ­direction.</p>

MALCOLM Turnbull’s great escape from the media pack to catch a train to marginal seats on election day tells you a lot about a politician who refuses to play by the rules.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But there are some rules even the Prime Minister cannot escape. Last night, the possibility of a hung parliament was all too real. Labor believes it caught the Prime Minister napping in the final week, too confident he would win as they unleashed a brutal scare campaign on Medicare.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The ALP polls tracked up consistently in the final days of the campaign. It was nail-biting stuff with the Prime Minister holed up in his Point Piper mansion until close to midnight as the Labor Party dared to dream it could form government with the independents.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Bob Hawke held government with 78 seats in a 148 seat parliament in 1990,’’ a Liberal senator said last night.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“It’s too close to call.’’ Some MPs in the Turnbull camp were hopeful that a fragile government would put more pressure on the Abbott camp to behave.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But the close result can only leave MPs questioning the Prime Minister’s judgement.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Securing a fragile mandate to govern from voters leaves him more vulnerable than ever to the conservatives who will never forgive his decision to roll Tony Abbott.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A mandate to govern from voters gives him new legitimacy but it does not afford him complete freedom.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Turnbull will be forced to negotiate with a Senate that could prove more unwieldy than the last.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The PM has proved lucky.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He is not a natural campaigner.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But winning an election will not mean the Mr Turnbull is free to pursue policy whims on climate change, <b>asylum</b> seekers or same-sex marriage.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While he did play a leadership role in freeing more children from detention in Australia, he supports the three pillars of the Coalition’s border protection policy: <b>boat</b> turnbacks, offshore processing and temporary protection visas. Anyone who assumes the Prime Minister is now free to thumb his nose at his modest group of detractors doesn’t understand the Liberal Party or politics.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In recent months there have been spot fires for the on superannuation, negative gearing and the GST. In most cases, these disagreements have been fanned by a small group of Abbott supporters.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">These MPs have raised concerns over the retrospective nature of proposed superannuation reforms on principle. They reflect the concerns of the Liberal Party base.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There are few observers who are convinced that Treasurer Scott Morrison’s changes will emerge from the party room intact after the election. Remember, the reforms were presented in the May Budget and then rushed off to the election without a debate. When parliament resumes, the debate will be had. If Mr Turnbull is forced to accept changes to the super reforms, it will clearly have an impact on the projected savings. You would be a mug to bet those changes will emerge from the Senate unscathed.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The PM’s personal income tax cuts for workers earning more than $80,000 are likely to secure support.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The same-sex marriage debate is a big opportunity to secure a progressive reform under the Liberals. It is popular with voters and the prospect of watching conservatives deliver the change will wound Labor, but it is likely to prove a political minefield and a huge test for his authority.His authority is derived from the party room and he ignores his colleagues at his own peril.</p>

</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Weekend Australian understands border security authorities have intelligence to suggest that a small handful of people-smuggling ventures are in the planning phases at the top of the so-called Indonesian and “western’’ corridors, the term used to describe the maritime route taken by Sri Lankan or Indian smuggling boats.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The ventures are thought to be small, 10-20 <b>asylum</b>-seekers, and are expected to put to water in the first few weeks after the election.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Demand for people-smuggling services remains buoyant in places such as Indonesia and Sri Lanka, where <b>asylum</b>-seekers from the Middle East and Central Asia cluster before travelling to Australia, although the trade itself has been decimated by the Coalition’s 2013 crackdown on border security.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In the lead-up to the election, people-smugglers have been mark­eting the message that the poll will see a softening in Australia’s policies. The smugglers’ pitch is not party specific, in that it is not suggesting any one party is weaker than the other. It is said to have run up against entrenched scepticism among <b>asylum</b>-seekers, who are reluctant to part with the $5000-$10,000 cost of a ticket on a <b>boat</b>.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph"><b>Asylum</b>-seekers, particularly those in Indonesia, Malaysia and Sri Lanka, track events in Australia closely and are fully attuned to the government’s toughened polic­ies, which include turning <b>asylum</b> boats back at sea.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Over the past nine months, Border Protection has been steadily ramping up its interdiction and detection capabilities, making it a virtual certainty that any <b>boat</b> that puts to sea will be turned back or stopped before it hits the water.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Border security has barely feat­ured as an issue during the election campaign, much to the vexation of some in the Liberal Party who think the government should have done more to emphasise its record.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">
Malcolm Turnbull warned of ‘’chaos’’ on the border if Bill Shorten was elected, arguing that widespread disquiet within Labor ranks over offshore processing would lead to weaker border sec­urity if the opposition were elected.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The challenge of people-smuggling is greater than it has ever been. The only thing that stops them is the steely resolve of my government to turn those boats back,’’ the Prime Minister said last week.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For his part, the Opposition Leader has sought to emphasise continuity, arguing that Labor’s policies on <b>asylum</b>-seekers are identical to the government’s, now that the opposition has embraced <b>boat</b> turnbacks.Mr Shorten said the Coalition’s resort to the issue of border security was a sign of ­political desperation.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">To many people, politics seems barely relevant to their lives. The record number of people who, according to the polls, intend to shun the major political parties at this election could signal the kind of disenchantment with mainstream politics that has fuelled Donald Trump's tilt for the US presidency and the shock vote by Britons to exit the <span class="companylink">European Union</span>. On the other hand a big lift in the voter participation rate, especially among 18-year-olds where it has risen from 50 per cent to 70 per cent since 2013, seems a healthy sign of voter engagement. What is certain is that experienced and first-time voters alike want a government they can trust.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">
Malcolm Turnbull in his last set-piece address of the campaign said he had learnt from his months on the hustings that people want a greater sense of common purpose. They are sick of being bombarded with ideology, of juvenile political theatrics and "gotcha" moments. And no wonder. Memories of the dysfunction of the Rudd-Gillard-Rudd years and the volatile negativity of Tony Abbott's Liberal leadership are fresh.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The global outlook is uncertain and we can expect the markets to be volatile. It is not a time, as we might say in Australian vernacular, to be mucking about.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Herald supports the Coalition at this election because we believe the socially progressive reformer Mr Turnbull offers better prospects for stability and growth than a Bill Shorten-led Labor Party backed by reform-resistant, even corrupt, unions. We think Mr Turnbull deserves more time to follow through on his economic plan. We hope he gains a big enough mandate to be able to prevail over the hard right of his own party and argue strongly for same-sex marriage, Indigenous recognition and a republic.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We know, and respect, that people's views and priorities span a wide spectrum in the community, and we understand why people might vote for candidates outside the major parties. But there is a danger that the result after such a tight fight will be so close that neither side will have voters' endorsement to govern with confidence. A hung Parliament is the worst possible outcome. It can lead to sub-optimal, even cynical decisions as governing becomes a chaotic scramble of deal making. It makes bold reform much more difficult.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Politics isn't everything, but it can set the tone and the mood of national life. On that score, we congratulate both parties for a civil and respectful campaign. For the most part the contenders have avoided splashing around in the dirty shallows of personality politics. They have focused on the issues of importance to our nation's future.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There have been a few low notes. We have criticised Labor's scare-mongering on Medicare just as we have criticised the Coalition's fright tactics on <b>boat</b> people and negative gearing. But there were great signs of improvement, too. It shouldn't be a big deal, but who would have thought 12 months ago, for example, that a Coalition prime minister would invite Muslim leaders to a dinner celebrating Ramadan in the middle of an election campaign?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We want leaders to lead constructive debates about economic reform, budgetary challenges, the social safety net and climate change. Not to mention <b>asylum</b> seekers, university reform, security in the Middle East, the fight against terror, foreign aid, health and hospitals, education and schools, Indigenous recognition, multiculturalism, a republic and same-sex marriage.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The first big challenge will be on the issue of same-sex marriage. While Labor offers a parliamentary vote, the Herald believes Australians can hold a civil debate ahead of a plebiscite should Mr Turnbull prevail. But it will be an enormous test of his leadership skills to ensure the extremes do not hijack the discourse. The latest Fairfax-Ipsos poll shows 70 per cent support for same-sex marriage, and nearly the same proportion (69 per cent) support a plebiscite.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The debate from here will be a measure of our tolerance and civility. It will point to our maturity as a nation to deal with potentially divisive but essential progress towards Indigenous representation and a republic. Australians are realistic, pragmatic people. We want whoever wins on Saturday to lead us towards being a smarter, cleaner, more tolerant, more inclusive, more compassionate country. We can handle complexity but we want strong leadership to deliver practical solutions to the challenges we face.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">THE NATION</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It was almost a throwaway line, but it said more than Malcolm Turnbull intended about this election campaign, his authority within the Coalition, his post-election aspirations and the way damaged <b>asylum</b> seekers have become political pawns.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Prime Minister was being pressed by Sarah Ferguson on the ABC's Four Corners on when the government would find resettlement countries for the men, women and children who have been stranded for so long on Nauru and Manus Island that most have succumbed to mental illness.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">His first response was to deflect the question by saying the centres were run by the governments of Papua New Guinea and Nauru - a contentious proposition irrelevant to the question of finding a durable solution for about 2000 people.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">When Ferguson persisted, inquiring if Turnbull felt responsible for the <b>asylum</b> seekers, he gave what has become his stock answer - that he is responsible for keeping Australia's borders secure and that this involves taking tough decisions "and sometimes those decisions are very tough indeed".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">When she pressed on, asking if he was setting himself a time limit on finding resettlement countries, Turnbull began his response by saying: "We are seeking to do it as, as quickly as we can, but I have to say to you that, ah, the, it'll be, it will be easier to do after the election ... "</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He went on to suggest this was somehow because of the view that Labor would be weaker on border protection and the expectation - emphatically rejected by Bill Shorten - that all of those on Manus and Nauru would be able to settle in Australia if Labor won.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The explanation was political spin, pure and simple, but the assertion that "it will be easier to do after the election" was a glimpse of the inner Turnbull and a rare departure from the "jobs and growth" script of the past eight weeks.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There has been much discussion this past six months about whether we have been seeing "the real Malcolm" or a politician who has traded convictions and adopted a more conservative stance to secure the prime ministership.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">His emphatic response has been to argue that his views have not changed, but that leadership is also about "keeping the team together". As he told Annabel Crabb in her election Kitchen Cabinet: "When people say to me that I should just do whatever I like as though I'm some kind of dictator, they don't get it."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Implicit in the "it will be easier to do after" answer is an expectation that Turnbull, within this construct, will have more confidence once the legitimacy of endorsement by the people is conferred upon him, rather than the vote of desperate colleagues in a party room coup.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The assumption - provided the Coalition is returned with a solid majority - is that Turnbull will use his enhanced authority to inject some urgency into the task of finding resettlement countries, and to dispense with the notion that any display of compassion represents an automatic "green light" to people smugglers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There will be no retreat on turning back boats or offshore processing (both of which are Labor policy, too) but there is a hope that Turnbull would be open to placing more weight on regional responses and more amenable to pleas on behalf of those who have suffered.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There is also anticipation that Turnbull would put more of his own stamp on the Coalition's position on climate change and on other policies that have barely rated a mention during the campaign, including the approach to tackling Indigenous disadvantage he inherited from Tony Abbott.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">If the country is to have a national vote on marriage equality, rather than the vote by MPs he initially supported, a returned and confident Turnbull would be almost singularly well-placed to lead it, and to try to ensure that the debate is conducted within dignified bounds.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Another conclusion that flows from the "it will be easier to do after the election" aside does not reflect so well on Turnbull or the Coalition. It is that the Prime Minister could not demonstrate urgency about finding resettlement countries because this would have undermined his uncompromising hard line on border protection and the depiction of Labor as a divided soft touch.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For three years, since Labor declared that those who came by <b>boat</b> would never be resettled in Australia, those on Nauru and Manus have been punished in order to send a message of deterrent to would-be arrivals and many thousands who were already on the mainland and have lived in uncertainty and poverty, unable to rebuild their lives.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">So toxic has the debate been that those who have been working on new approaches have remained silent during the campaign, acutely aware that sensible debate was impossible in the heat of battle.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Post-election, it is the discussion we have to have and at least two major reports will provide a foundation for it, one from the <span class="companylink">Australian Human Rights Commission</span>, the other from a coalition including the Human Rights Law Centre, the <b>refugee</b> advocacy arm of the National Council of Churches and GetUp!</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In his final set-piece speech of the campaign, Turnbull promised an end of "division for division's sake", saying the public wanted the Parliament to offload ideology, end the juvenile theatrics and "gotcha" moments and drop personality politics.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He is right, of course. Had he made the commitment earlier on, it would have invited some fascinating questions and answers. Would, for instance, it include a commitment to take the politics out of the <b>asylum</b> debate and seek a bipartisan consensus on an approach that reconciles compassion and responsibility with border security? Would it have averted his disagreement with Shorten on whether the question of a treaty should be debated along with constitutional recognition of the first Australians?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Such a commitment at the start of the campaign might have also constrained some of the more bellicose declarations from his immigration minister, Peter Dutton, who maintained on Thursday that recent the terrorist atrocities in Paris, Brussels and Istanbul had elevated national security as an issue in this campaign.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The final thing to say about the "it will be easier to do after" remark is that it is predicated on Turnbull delivering a victory speech tonight , and, more importantly, on that victory being a foundation for what he has sought: strong and stable government.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A narrow win, a dead heat that results in a hung parliament, or the least likely outcome of a loss, and everything suddenly becomes much, much more difficult.</p>

Their argument for the need for a stable, strong government was reinforced by the news Britain had voted to leave the <span class="companylink">European Union</span>. They continue to repeat the “jobs and growth” mantra and promise to create thousands of jobs in the defence manufacturing sector. They want to reduce the Budget deficit and produce a surplus by 2020-21.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">LABOR The party is struggling to argue it can look after the economy amid costings that show they would increase the Budget deficit over the medium term. It claims it would engage in structural economic reform that would put the Budget back into balance in the same time frame as the Coalition. The Opposition has argued in favour of local defence manufacturing, including shipbuilding in Adelaide.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">NXT Senator Nick Xenophon has been a strong advocate for South Australian manufacturing and for the local shipbuilding industry, including the Future Submarines project.

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">SAME-SEX MARRIAGE COALITION Malcolm Turnbull remains committed to a post-election plebiscite, estimated to cost about $160 million. However, he won’t say whether parliamentarians would be bound by the vote.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">LABOR Says a plebiscite is a waste of taxpayer’s money and says it would instead introduce legislation to legalise same-sex marriage within the first 100 days of being elected. They also fear it would expose LGBTI people to more bigotry.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">NXT Supports marriage equality. Also supports the right of churches and other religious bodies to refuse to marry same-sex couples. Opposed to a plebiscite and argues the $160 million saved by not holding the poll would be better directed towards drug rehabilitation programs.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">EDUCATION COALITION Extra $1.2 billion of school funding for 2018-20 on a “back-to-basics” approach. Includes string of “targeted” measures to improve outcomes including literacy and numeracy tests for children starting school and minimum standards to pass Year 12. It has shelved plans to deregulate universities.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">LABOR Wants to pour $3.5 billion more than the Coalition into schools by 2020. They say it’s the only way to truly deliver a needs-based approach and have set a target of 95 per cent Year 12 completion by 2020. Labor opposes the deregulation of university fees.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">NXT Supports the Gonski “needs-based’’ funding model for schools. Wants greater focus on professional development and mentoring to help “good teachers become great teachers”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">NEGATIVE GEARING COALITION The Coalition has ruled out negative gearing as a savings measure, claiming it would reduce the value of family homes. Instead, they would make housing more affordable by working with state and local government to link transport projects with housing to increase supply.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">LABOR Wants to limit negative gearing to new housing from July 2017, and half the capital gains tax discount available to assets held for more than a year. They say this would improve the Budget bottom line by $32 billion over a decade and improve affordability.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">NXT NXT is willing to support minor changes to negative gearing to encourage more investment in new homes. But it is opposed to Labor’s plan to restrict new negatively geared investments to new properties.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">CLIMATE CHANGE COALITION Australia signed an agreement to keep global warming below 2C at a global climate summit in Paris this year. The Coalition says this is a substantial commitment and anything more would make Australian businesses uncompetitive. It also promised $1 billion for the Great Barrier Reef.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">LABOR Labor has vowed to see 50 per cent of Australia’s energy derived from renewable sources by 2030, claiming investing in clean energy would create jobs. It has promised $380 million for the Great Barrier Reef.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">NXT Senator Xenophon voted to abolish the carbon tax. He supports the introduction of a carbon emissions trading scheme. He argues that authorities should constantly be improving water management to prepare for “the next drought’’. He also says a healthy River Murray is needed to ensure a healthy irrigation sector.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">HEALTH COALITION Malcolm Turnbull has ruled out privatising any part of Medicare. But he wants to remove bulk-billing incentives for pathologists worth $650 million over four years and freeze Medicare rebates at just $37 for six years.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">LABOR Has vowed to protect Medicare, is opposed to the planned pathology cuts and would restore its child health dental scheme. It is committed to making mental health a national priority, including reducing suicides by 50 per cent in the next decade.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">NXT Wants a greater focus on preventive health care and a 30 per cent private health insurance rebate to take pressure off public hospitals. Senator Xenophon says state health systems must be more transparent and accountable when spending federal grant money.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS COALITION Wants to reintroduce the Australian Building and Construction Commission to police the sector. It wants a watchdog for registered organisations which would see union officials held as accountable as company directors.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">LABOR The party wants to protect weekend penalty wage rates for workers, saying they compensate people for the family time they miss out on by working weekends. It is opposed to the ABCC because it says it would have excessive powers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">NXT Supports the reintroduction of the ABCC if certain safeguards are introduced to protect occupational health and safety and security of payment. Sympathetic to calls to lower weekend penalty rates for small businesses but says decision can only be made by an independent industrial tribunal.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">PERSONAL TAX COALITION The Turnbull Government’s 2016-17 Budget included tax changes to curb bracket creep for middle income earners. The income threshold for the 32.5 cent tax bracket will be broadened from $80,000 to $87,000.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">LABOR Supports changing the third tax bracket to prevent bracket creep, but thinks the deficit levy should stay. It doesn’t believe Australia’s budget position justifies cutting taxes for high income earners.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">NXT Senator Xenophon opposed an increase in the GST. He argues that governments should save money through efficiencies instead of by raising taxes.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">SUPERANNUATION COALITION A dozen superannuation changes, designed to save $2.88 billion over four years were announced in the 2016-17 Budget. New tax offset for lower-income earners and the Coalition claims only 4 per cent of super account holders would be negatively affected by the changes.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">LABOR Wants to reduce the tax-free concession available to people with annual superannuation incomes from earnings of more than $75,000. Under the plan future earnings would be tax-free up to $75,000 a year, with the remainder taxed at 15 per cent.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">NXT NXT wants the super guarantee increased from 9.5 per cent to 12 per cent. It supports changing super tax concessions to help boost the balance of Australians with low super balances and reduce benefits to high-income earners.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">BORDER PROTECTION COALITION Says current border protection policy works and is the only way to stop the people smugglers. It is committed to ensuring no-one who travels to Australia by <b>boat</b> will ever be allowed to move here, instead relying on offshore processing.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">LABOR Claims it has exactly the same border protection policy as the Coalition. However, they want to work on a regional solution to get people out of detention and resettled elsewhere. They also want to give permanent visas to about 30,000 <b>asylum</b> seekers living in Australia on temporary protection visas.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">NXT Supports the offshore processing of <b>asylum</b> seekers, but it says the offshore detention system should be more transparent, and greater compassion is needed towards <b>asylum</b> seekers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">NUCLEAR WASTE COALITION The Government selected Barndioota as the preferred site for a storage facility for Australia’s low and medium-level radioactive waste. It is willing to consider proposals for an international radioactive waste dump in South Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">LABOR The Opposition supports the establishment of a low and medium-level radioactive waste storage facility. The Federal Labor platform opposes the importation of radioactive waste.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">NXT NXT doesn’t support the proposed construction of a storage facility for low and intermediate-level radioactive waste at Barndioota. Senator Xenophon argues another location should be found where there is strong community support. He also wants a referendum.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">INNOVATION COALITION The $1.1 billion National Innovation and Science Agenda was the first major spending announcement made by Malcolm Turnbull as Prime Minister.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">LABOR Labor would introduce measures to boost science, technology, engineering and mathematics skills in Australia. This includes teaching computer coding in every Australian school by 2020, creation of Regional Innovation Hubs, tax incentives for start-ups, and “Landing Pads” for Australian innovators overseas.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">NXT The party is supportive of efforts to encourage businesses. It wants more support for advanced manufacturing and Australian exporters and a greater focus on food exports.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">REGIONAL AUSTRALIA COALITION The Government has promised a $49 million investment to help sure up the viability of Whyalla-based steelmaker Arrium and will back a solar thermal power plant in Port Augusta.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">LABOR It has promised $100 million to save Arrium and would almost certainly invest in the proposed Port Augusta solar plant. Labor says they would create regional innovation hubs in universities and TAFEs.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">NXT Senator Xenophon campaigned strongly for a government support package for steelmaker Arrium and for government investment in a Port Augusta solar thermal plant. He wants more scrutiny of proposed farm purchases by foreign investors.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Almost 90 per cent of the <b>asylum</b> seekers Australia has sent to Papua New Guinea are genuine refugees, new figures suggest.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Figures tendered to the PNG Supreme Court this week, and obtained by Fairfax, show that just 12.3 per cent of the detainees on Manus Island who have been processed were found not to have valid claims for protection. This means that 87.7 per cent of people who have been assessed are refugees - an almost identical proportion to the number of <b>boat</b> arrivals to Australia who were later found to be genuine refugees. Figures from 2012-13 show 88 per cent of <b>boat</b> arrivals were found to be genuine refugees.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Despite this, many of the men on Manus Island have languished there for almost three years.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There are 1010 refugees and <b>asylum</b> seekers on Manus Island, the documents show, with 43 of those people remaining under the medical care of Australian authorities - a figure unchanged in two months.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The number of people processed by PNG authorities is also unchanged in the two months to June 28 - despite assurances by the PNG government that it would fast-track processing.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">PNG authorities have approved 545 people for <b>refugee</b> status and assessed another 76 as being "non refugees".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Languishing in detention are 389 <b>asylum</b> seekers who are yet to have their <b>refugee</b> claims processed.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Supreme Court in Waigani, PNG, is impatient with progress so far. On Wednesday, it issued a two-week deadline for the remaining <b>asylum</b> seekers to be processed. Chief Justice Sir Salamo Injia said the process had dragged on for long enough.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The court also insisted that <b>asylum</b> seekers now be called "residents", after a recent Supreme Court ruling that the detention of <b>asylum</b> seekers at the centre was illegal.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">According to a statement of claim lodged in the court, delays in processing <b>asylum</b> claims "and resultant uncertainties over future prospects", is one of the most frequently made complaints by <b>asylum</b> seekers and refugees on Manus. "The applicants are now beginning the third year of their accommodation at the centre and still do not have any idea as to when they will be released."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Lawyer Ben Lomai told local media in PNG that none of the refugees and <b>asylum</b> seekers on Manus Island wanted to stay in PNG once their cases had been resolved.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The figures, compiled by PNG, show the highest groups of detainees on Manus Island are Iranians, Afghans, Pakistanis and stateless people.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Canberra observed - ELECTION 2016</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The campaign highlights have been the refreshing lack of rancour in a policy-heavy campaign, and the growth in registered and young voters.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The great marathon is drawing to a close. Eight weeks of campaigning - mostly at our expense - and you could be entitled to ask: "For what?"</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The polls have barely moved. Neither side of politics has forced the other off its strategy perch. The general presumption is of a mess in the Senate as voters struggle with new voting rules.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There has been some movement. The Prime Minister appears to have arrested the freefall in his approval ratings in the past month. Bill Shorten has gone up in the esteem of an electorate that seemed to have made up its mind about him six months ago.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The post-mortems of the campaign - as well as of the anticipated vote - have already begun: who campaigned better or worse; what were the "turning points"; whose leadership is under threat? There will be lots of apparent "science" wheeled out to explain what happens on Saturday.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But the biggest story of the 2016 election campaign may prove to be the electorate itself, and the fact that, just quietly, some of the more pragmatic hands in politics will tell you they are no longer sure they know what it is thinking, or how to engage with it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This was even before last week's Brexit poll rocked the political establishment's complacent view that it understood the views of the UK electorate.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There has been plenty of talk during this Australian federal campaign about "the great disengagement" - the fact that voters are completely over politics; that they have not been paying any great attention to the day-to-day campaigning; that they look cynically at all the photo opportunities on the nightly news and switch to MasterChef.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Yet here are some interesting statistics, courtesy of the <span class="companylink">Australian Electoral Commission</span>.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There are 15,676,659 people enrolled to vote for this election. That's up almost 1 million since 2013. The participation rate is estimated at 95 per cent, compared with 92 per cent in 2013.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The estimated number of eligible voters who aren't enrolled has slumped from 1.22 million to 816,000.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The participation rate of 18-year-olds has risen from about 50 per cent to more than 70 per cent.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The AEC attributes much of the lift in participation to the fact you can now register to vote online. That may indeed make it easier to register to vote. But it doesn't mean you have to.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Equally, a staggering 2.2 million people had already cast votes at pre-polling centres by Thursday morning. That's just below 15 per cent of voters: a lot of people rushing to be disengaged (or practise obscene art on their ballot papers).</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There are the obvious points to make about how, more than usual, that means the vote will freeze-frame changing views of politics over the past couple of weeks.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But there has never seemed such a big gap between what the published polls tell us - a tight race and a hung parliament - and the overwhelming expectation of a now comfortable win for the Coalition.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Some of this apparent disparity will be played out in the story of votes for independents and minor parties. But another layer in the complex story of the electorate lies in what is still a huge undecided vote: in published polls it is still hovering about 10 per cent (double the more normal levels). So if we look at our two political leaders - and their parties - in the context of this sense of an electorate that is both disengaged, yet even apparently more keen to vote, what have they been offering?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The first thing you would have to say is that - if voters actually have been paying attention - they will have witnessed a better contest (at its best) between two leaders prepared to take some political risks, and on occasion to take voters into their confidence. At its worst, it was still the disappointing fibbery of false accusation and scaremongering.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The nightly news grabs might be the equivalent of trying to explain your policies in the 140 characters of a <span class="companylink">Twitter</span> message. But in the televised town-hall forums that occurred during the campaign, we saw both leaders put through the paces of having to explain not just their policies but their reasoning.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Watching Malcolm Turnbull do this over the course of the campaign was a fascinating study in literally watching someone learn on the run. And he got better at it. Shorten was more comfortable with it. And he did it well.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A Prime Minister with a notoriously short attention span and an interest in everything showed a discipline akin to Hawke's commitment to give up the drink to plug the same message every day, hour after hour. An Opposition Leader who voters didn't think was up to the job ran as fast as he could to portray a calm and thoughtful approach to issues, and to treat them with gravitas.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It was a campaign of clearer left/right delineation than we have seen in some years.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">If you think nothing much has changed in politics, consider where we are now compared with the angry, moronic slogan-fest of 2013.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There has been relatively little said about national security, and even the <b>boat</b> people gambit didn't work out quite as effectively as it once did.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As people in the government say: "At least we're not trying to scare the shit out of people."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Yet after Saturday, the reality will be that the issues that occupy the minds of the government and the Parliament are ones we haven't really got much satisfaction from in the election campaign: finding a home for stranded <b>asylum</b> seekers; climate change; and, most notably, the budget.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Turnbull has kept telling us he has a plan for jobs and growth, but the company tax cut is more of a badge of philosophy than a plan with an actual doing word.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And Chris Bowen is right to say that, whoever wins the election, the deficit bottom line will be worse than it currently appears.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This is the first time in recent memory where we go into a new Parliament in which comprehensive tax reform is effectively admitted to be off the agenda. (And it is right that we can't afford the compensation bill that entails).</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We have got through an election campaign without either side of politics telling us what they will actually, really do about funding education and health in the medium term.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Turnbull said on Thursday that voters "want our focus to be on issues that matter to them - and an end to division for division's sake".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And on these biggest issues, we can only hope that can happen.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">TWO things make this election campaign the worst in our modern history: the lies and the stuff-ups. The lies you already know. They start with the biggest of all: that we can afford the massive spending shamelessly promised by both Labor and the Liberals.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Yet it’s blunders that actually tell the tale of this miserable campaign, and which will decide it on Saturday – and decide the kind of government you will unfortunately get.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">From a long list of campaign mistakes, misspeaks and pratfalls I have picked the five biggest and most telling disasters.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Disaster five is Labor’s <b>boat</b> blunders – the dozens of Labor candidates who turned out to have attacked the tough border policies that Labor claims now to support.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Those candidates include Marg D’Arcy, in Kooyong, who three years ago suggested we actually “sponsor <b>asylum</b> seekers to get on safe boats” to Australia, and last year tweeted to the ABC’s Q & A that ‘‘Stopping boats is not answer [sic]”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Then there’s Cathy O’Toole, in Herbert, who was photographed earlier this year holding a “Let them stay” sign at a protest for <b>boat</b> people, and Michael Freelander, in Macarthur, who likened the detention centre at Manus Island to a “con-centration camp”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">True, these statements – and similar by more than 30 other Labor candidates – were made before the election campaign, and the candidates solemnly swear they now support the policies they once so stupidly damned.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But these statements killed Labor in the campaign’s first two weeks. They reminded voters of Labor’s catastrophic record – how the Rudd and Gillard governments weakened our border laws, encouraging 50,000 illegal immigrants to sail here and lured another 1200 to deaths at sea.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And it raised a pressing question: Has Labor really learned its lessons? Can you trust it?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The fourth biggest disaster of the campaign? That’s the Liberals’ superannuation stuff-up.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Liberals, desperate for extra spending money after dropping a proposed hike in the GST, hurriedly promised big new taxes on superannuation which they falsely claimed would hit only the richest 4 per cent of superannuants.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This was such a dog’s breakfast of a policy that even the Liberals’ dep-uty leader, Julie Bishop, couldn’t explain it in a car-crash interview on 3AW. “This is obviously a gotcha moment,” she confessed when sprung.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But this was far more than a badly designed tax badly sold – a mess that hurt the Liberals for weeks.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This was also Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull ’s team yet again attacking the Liberals’ base, figuring Liberal voters could just suck it up, since they had no one else to vote for.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It smacked of contempt for their own, and this could come back to bite the Turnbull crowd. Many Liberals already say they have stopped donating to their party or volunteering for it, and Turnbull lacks the love he’ll need to survive future internal unrest.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In fact, Bishop’s own Curtin division of the party has now passed a motion condemning the super changes, which will be debated at the state conference in August.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Disaster number three is Turnbull’s sheer bastardry to Tony Abbott , whose job he took nine months ago.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Despite that treachery, Abbott in this election has been the complete team player.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He has not wrecked Turnbull’s campaign with leaks, as Kevin Rudd did to Julia Gillard in 2010.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He has not white-anted Turnbull, as Turnbull once white-anted him. Yet Turnbull has repeatedly treated him like dirt, and did it again on the ABC last Monday, boasting that however narrowly he’d win this election, under Abbott “we would’ve lost the election very resoundingly”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">First, I doubt that’s true.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Abbott is a far better campaigner.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Second, Turnbull’s win owes plenty to Abbott’s policies on boats, in particular, and to his loyalty now – none of which Turnbull has the grace to acknowledge.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But thirdly, why rub Abbott’s nose in it? Why denigrate him? Why the gratuitous humiliation?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This was Turnbull trying to make himself look good at the expense of a colleague – and how well his MPs will know that of him. What loyalty could this man ever expect in return?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Moreover, here is Turnbull almost inviting a retaliation from his conservative wing, and that day may soon come. See already how conservative Liberals are drawing lines in the sand on same-sex marriage.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The next three years could see the Liberals ripped apart.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The second-biggest campaign mistake was Turnbull’s first decision of this campaign – one which says goodbye to any control of the Senate.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Turnbull’s mistake was to call an early double dissolution election just when his popularity was sinking fast, rather than months earlier when he was still as popular as a socialist at the ABC. A double dissolution election means all the Senators face re-election, not just the usual half, and that in turn means Senators need only half the normal votes, too.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Result: all sorts of minor parties and independents seem set to get elected – not just the Greens, but maybe Pauline Hanson, Derryn Hinch, several Nick Xenophon candidates, Jacquie Lambie and even David Leyonhjelm.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That makes it almost certain the Turnbull Government after the election will have a Senate it cannot control. That Senate could be even more obstructionist than the last, meaning Turnbull not only has almost no mandate for change, but almost no power to achieve any.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But the biggest disaster of the campaign? The one that seems set to decide this election?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That’s Labor’s promise three weeks ago not just to spend more and tax more than the Liberals, but to bury us in more debt than the Liberals, too, over the next four years.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor leader Bill Shorten was so embarrassed by this suicidal surrender to Labor’s big spenders that he couldn’t confess to it in language most voters would understand.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“It is true that Labor will not have the same degree of fiscal contraction as the Liberals over this period,” he mumbled.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In English, this is the Labor promise: to tax you by around $12 billion more than the Liberals, yet still put the country $17 billion more in debt than the Liberals, thanks to its mad spending.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">What makes this worse is that the Liberals are no saints themselves, planning to put another $83 billion on the country’s credit card over the next four years.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">(That includes the extra savings the Liberals announced this week.) How could Labor think that promising to dig us even deeper into the massive debt left by the Rudd and Gillard government was the way to earn your trust? To show it could finally handle your money?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This was the mistake that most likely killed Labor’s last chance. But the real problem is that all those mistakes together have killed hope that we will get the strong, reforming government we desperately need.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And that is this campaign’s biggest disaster of all.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A 5500-tonne barge has delivered four wooden “turnback” boats to Australian Border Force officers on Christmas Island, freshly ­painted with Sanskrit names ­including “Jayana”, meaning ­victory.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The boats, transferred from Darwin aboard the carrier Crest Angelica, are a contingency ahead of possible new attempts by ­people-smugglers to bring <b>asylum</b>-seekers to the Australian territory. The Australian has been told more boats of the same Vietnamese design are held in Darwin.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The boats are a cheaper alternative to the orange lifeboats the Coalition originally used to turn back <b>asylum</b>-seekers after it launched Operation Sovereign Borders. The wooden fishing boats have diesel engines, navigational aides and other features expected of a <b>boat</b> that is designed for open ­waters, such as watertight bulkheads.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The office of Immigration Minister Peter Dutton ­declined to comment on the boats delivered to the Australian territory, the main destination for about 50,000 ­<b>asylum</b>-seekers who reached Australian shores between 2008 and 2013. In Operation Sovereign Borders media updates this year, Mr Dutton and Major General ­Andrew Bottrell have said resources to detect boats and turn passengers around were increasing.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We know that people-smugglers are continuing to try and use any excuse to convince people to get on to a <b>boat</b>. As a result of that, our deterrence framework has been reinforced significantly,” Major General Bottrell said in March.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The latest turnback boats ­arrived at Flying Fish Cove on Saturday. One has already been taken aboard the Ocean Protector and the other aboard the Ocean Shield, two large vessels that ­patrol and intercept <b>asylum</b> boats. Two of the small wooden boats will remain at Christmas Island for collection if needed.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The most recent known ­attempt by <b>asylum</b>-seekers to reach Australia by <b>boat</b> was last month when 12 Sri Lankans sailed close to the Australian territory of Cocos (Keeling) Islands. Locals on a ferry were the first to see the <b>boat</b>, which was stopped by <span class="companylink">Australian Federal Police</span>.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Within two days, the passengers, including women and children, were taken ashore and flown to Colombo.Before the Sri Lankans were sent back by plane, Major General Bottrell said 25 boats carrying 698 people had been turned back and returned to their country of departure since the Coalition began ­Operation Sovereign Borders.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Putting his personal stamp on <b>asylum</b>-seeker <b>boat</b> policy, Malcolm Turnbull says tough border protection is essential to guarantee and sustain Australia as the most successful multicultural nation on earth.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In his election-eve interview with The Australian, Mr Turnbull said his prime ministership was based “absolutely” on the nexus between strong border controls and a confident, multicultural ­society.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He has gone far beyond the stance of his predecessor, Tony Abbott, who campaigned on “stopping the boats” and delivered, by offering a progressive view of the benefits arising from safe borders and strong law and order.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“If you don’t have strong ­border protection then people lose faith in the immigration system and the whole Australian multicultural project is threatened,” Mr Turnbull said yesterday.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Prime Minister said Britain’s vote to leave the <span class="companylink">EU</span> was a vindication of Australia’s border protection.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He warned that much of ­Brexit’s support was because of ­“anxiety over immigration” and Britain’s inability to secure its borders. Australia, by contrast, had the agencies and policies to reassure the public.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“It is critical that Australians believe with good reason that their government controls the ­immigration system and every element of it, the skills-based system, the family reunion channel and the <b>refugee</b> channel,” Mr Turnbull said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Australians have to know their government determines who comes to Australia, how long they can stay and the terms on which they can stay. Now this is critical. It is one of the points every Liberal leader has made. John Howard has made it and I make it today.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Multiculturalism is threatened by any abandonment of strong border protection. “You have to believe your government controls law and order. And law and order starts at the border.” Mr Turnbull’s view of a “very clear nexus” between border security and successful multiculturalism seeks reconciliation between right-wing “stop the boats” politics and left-wing champions of multiculturalism.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Offering an expansive view of law and order — a national security system with police, intelligence and a range of agencies — Mr Turnbull insisted that success on the security front was tied to success on the multicultural front.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Compare our situation with Europe, where you have trans-national terrorism — terrorists are able to move across borders, you don’t have an <span class="companylink">FBI</span> or ASIO that has pan-European authority, and I mean real authority,” he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“In the UK, the people, or a large per cent of people, felt they had lost control of their borders, and with freedom of movement in Europe the <span class="companylink">British government</span> could not restrict the entry of people from other parts of Europe into the UK.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Europe had a double problem. First, there was the porosity of Europe’s borders to people arriving from the Middle East seeking <b>asylum</b>. We’ve seen the consequences of that. That’s the question of border control and the lack of it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Then there was internal movement. For all practical purposes, you don’t have internal borders. That was part of the objective of the <span class="companylink">EU</span>. And that has caused a lot of anxiety in Britain. The point is that having a strong border control policy is absolutely critical.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I assert — and no one has contradicted me — that we are the most successful multicultural society in the world.” Mr Turnbull said the task of leadership was to confront problems and explain issues to the public. He was sure that “a very big benefit” from strong border controls was the sense of reassurance it engendered and this was tied to the confidence around multiculturalism and immigration.Asked about Islamist terrorism, he said: “We have a comprehensive, well resourced, very capable, national security system with police, intelligence and other agencies. We have provided them with substantial additional resources. They work very closely with other countries particularly with our Five Eyes partners and that international collaboration is intensifying.”</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He cited that the Greens did not get everything they wanted in 2010 with climate laws but got "a hell of a good climate package".</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In video footage ­obtained by The Australian, the ­Opposition Leader outlined a position that is in stark contrast to his claims ­yesterday that a plebiscite would be a taxpayer-funded platform to give a “green light” to ­homophobia and hate.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Shorten told the Australian Christian Lobby forum in his electorate that he preferred “the Australian people make their view known” to the 150 MPs in federal parliament. “Personally speaking, I’m completely relaxed about having some form of plebiscite,’’ he said. “I’d be wary of trying to use a referendum and a constitutional mechanism to start tampering with the Marriage Act.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“But in terms of a plebiscite — I would rather the people of Aust­ralia could make their view clear on this than leaving this issue to 150 people.” He told the Christian forum, which was webcast, he supported same-sex marriage and did not support a referendum but he did not think parliament would act.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Shorten said “gay marriage” was not the reason he ran for parliament and that “I would rather that I didn’t have to address the question”. He said he preferred a vote in parliament but he could not see it voting for change for a long time. “I believe that you should allow the parliament, if that’s what has to happen, to make a determination on this question,” he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He then explained that he was relaxed about a plebiscite.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Shorten, the then education minister in the Rudd government, made his comments in his Melbourne seat of Maribyrnong at the Essendon Baptist church in the final week of the 2013 election campaign. Last night he told The Australian he had changed his mind on a same-sex marriage plebiscite since the last election.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In recent days, as he faces increasing pressure on economic plans and budget costings, Mr Shorten has turned opposition to the Coalition plan for a plebiscite on same-sex marriage into a key priority along with his Medicare scare campaign.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Shorten used his final election address to the <span class="companylink">National Press Club</span> yesterday to pledge Labor’s first act would be to introduce a same-sex marriage bill into parliament and accused Malcolm Turnbull of settling for a “second-best option” of a plebiscite because of a “grubby deal with the right wing of the Liberal Party”. He repeated his attack that the proposal for a same-sex marriage plebiscite would be a “taxpayer-funded ­platform for homophobia” and ­refused to say if Labor in opposition would pass the proposal through the Senate.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He also used the plebiscite commitment — made by Tony Abbott as prime minister and adopted by Mr Turnbull — to accuse Mr Turnbull of weakness and allowing a “green light” for homophobia and hate. “Why on earth can’t the Liberal Party just let their politicians do their day job rather than (spending) $160 million (on a plebiscite) to make up for Mr Turnbull’s deal to become the leader of the Liberal Party,” he said. “Mr Turnbull knows that he’s come up with the second-best ­option. He knows if he had his way, if he was genuinely leading the Liberal Party, if he was actually the man in charge rather than simply the guy who is the front for the Liberal Party, then he would go for a vote in parliament.” Mr Shorten said last night he had changed his mind because of the experience overseas, particularly in Ireland, where “hateful” campaigns had been run.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Over the last few years, I’ve seen harmful advertising campaigns run off the back of plebiscites and referendums overseas — I can’t ignore that,” he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The Irish experience convinced me that a plebiscite is the wrong way to go over here. The debate has moved on since 2013 — there’s no doubt whatsoever Australians now overwhelmingly support marriage equality, we don’t need a plebiscite to tell us that. As leader, I’ve learned how significant this issue is for so many Australians. Malcolm Turnbull thinks so too, he’s said as much. It’s just he’s not prepared to do anything about it,” he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">At the ALP national conference last year the left wing of the Labor Party agreed to change the policy on offshore processing of <b>asylum</b>-seekers and consider <b>boat</b> turnbacks in return for right-wing support for same-sex marriage.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Shorten pledged yesterday: “The first piece of legislation I introduce into the 45th parliament will be a bill to amend the Marriage Act. I promise Australians that if and when we’re elected, within the first 100 days we will legislate for marriage equality, it will be a conscience vote and it will happen. No $160m plebiscite, no hurtful, hateful government-sponsored advertising campaign for us.”Mr Shorten said there would be “civil war” in the Liberal Party over the plebiscite if the Coalition were re-elected and Mr Turnbull could not convince his cabinet ministers to abide by the plebiscite decision. Scott Morrison, who is opposed to same-sex marriage said he supported a plebiscite and would accept the national result.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Coalition enlisted former prime minister John Howard into the tight battle for one of ­Australia’s most marginal seats yesterday, joining the attack on the Labor candidate for Cowan, ­de-radicalisation expert Anne Aly.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Howard, who was prime minister in August 2001 during the Tampa standoff that became the catalyst for offshore processing of <b>asylum</b>-seekers, was in the northern Perth electorate to campaign for Liberal MP Luke Simpkins.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Like a lot of other people in the Labor Party, (Dr Aly) doesn’t support a strong border protection policy,” Mr Howard said. “The Labor party has a very chequered history on this issue.” Dr Aly’s statements on border protection and national security have been by scrutinised and critic­ised by senior Liberal figures ­including Foreign Minister Julie Bishop, prompting Bill Shorten to call on Malcolm Turnbull to pull off his attack dogs.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Yesterday, Dr Aly reiterated her support for counter-terrorism laws and Labor’s boats policy in its entirety, including turnbacks. She added she agreed with the Opposition Leader that Australia should approach the <span class="companylink">UNHCR</span> for faster processing of <b>asylum</b>-seekers who came by <b>boat</b> and had been on Manus Island or Nauru for years.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">She said Mr Howard’s appearance in Cowan, where polling suggests Mr Simpkins’s margin of 4.5 per cent is in danger, was a sign of how worried the Liberals were.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“This is just a smear campaign. I have always supported Labor’s policy on this,” Dr Aly said. “I would expect more from a former prime minister.” This month, The Weekend Australian revealed that Dr Aly had provided a pre-sentencing offer of support for radical Islamic preacher Junaid Thorne before he was jailed last year for using a false name to book a flight. Dr Aly, who wrote the letter to the court in her role as chairwoman of the federally funded People Against Violent ­Extremism, said her submission was aimed at keeping Thorne “on the right side of the law”.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Britain could learn of lot from Australia’s orderly and rational approach</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There were lots of really dumb and desperate things said during the Brexit referendum campaign, by both the Remain and the Leave sides. But one of the silliest comments was uttered by Britain’s Prime Minister, David Cameron, who said that adopting an Australian-style immigration system could “crash the economy”.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Oh come on.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Was he being serious?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And if that wasn’t bad enough, the now discredited UK Chancellor, George Osborne, declared that implementing a points-based immigration system like Australia’s was “fantasy politics” that would lead to a rise in net migration. The evidence for this proposition was Australia has higher net migration per head than the UK, while ignoring the fact that this outcome is an explicit decision made by the Australian government.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Why would these fervent Remainers say such ill-informed and asinine things? After all, for non-EU citizens, the UK does in effect run a points-based immigration system. Just ask young Australians about the difficulties of getting a visa to work in the UK. There are age restrictions, income restrictions and certain occupations are favoured over others. And many of them are booted out after their visas expire.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Since April this year, non-EU skilled workers can only secure a visa to work in the UK if they earn £35,000 ($63,000) per year or more. And there is an overall cap of 20,700 per year on their number.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Messrs Cameron and Osborne, this is a points-based immigration system. It just doesn’t apply to <span class="companylink">EU</span> citizens who have a right to reside in any <span class="companylink">EU</span> country they wish and to avail themselves of all the public services and welfare benefits accessible to local citizens of the country in which they choose to live.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It was extremely unwise of the British Prime Minister to suggest he could reduce immigration to the UK to less than 100,000 per year — he even talked about 10,000 — under the current <span class="companylink">EU</span> rules. With more than 300,000 immigrants making their way to the UK each year, mainly <span class="companylink">EU</span> citizens, it was never possible for Cameron to make good his promise as long as Britain remained a full member of the <span class="companylink">EU</span>. The binding rules simply prevented this outcome.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And what about this furphy that per capita net overseas migration is higher in Australia than the UK, thus rendering a points-based system “fantasy politics”? If we look at the chart above there is a reasonably stable pattern of net overseas migration (NOM) to Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But here’s the rub: the biggest component of the NOM is students (mainly higher education), who make up more than one quarter of all arrivals according to the latest figures. Indeed, temporary entrants (who also include 457 visa holders, working holiday makers and visitors, as well as students) make up more than half of all ­arrivals.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In terms of the permanent migration program, the government sets annual targets for three categories: skill, family and humanitarian. The skill category is the largest by far — more than twice as large as the family intake.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The points system applies to migrants entering under the skill category. Factors such as age, English-language ability, qualifications and occupation are taken into account. Note also those who enter under the skill visa category are not entitled to receive any welfare benefits from the Australian government for a period of two years. There are also some restrictions that apply to family entrants.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The humanitarian intake is the smallest of the three permanent categories — skill, family and humanitarian — making up less than 7 per cent of the total permanent intake and 3 per cent of all arrivals.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We also permit New Zealanders to come and go; more recently, they have shown a great propensity to go rather than come. There are also some restrictions placed on their entitlement to welfare and subsidised higher education. The bottom line is this: Australia has run an orderly and rational immigration program based on restricted permanent entry and large temporary entry.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">To be sure, quite a few temporary entrants — graduating students and 457 visa holders — end up staying, but they are issued permanent visas within the annual limits and generally under the skill category. Mind you, trying before you buy makes a lot of sense when it comes to migrating.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Also note that skill migrants have very high rates of employment and earn as much as Australian workers. According to figures from the Department of Immigration, 85 per cent of skill migrants are either employed or running their own business five years after arriving.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">How Cameron could possibly think that implementing an Australian-style points-based immigration system could crash the UK economy is anyone’s guess. In fact, there would be many economic upsides were the UK to follow our policy. Of course, immigration policy is not just about economics, something that was very apparent in the referendum campaign. People prefer a sense of control over immigration and their government putting their wellbeing ahead of others.In that sense, Australia has the balance right, even though there can be some debate about the size of the annual permanent intake and the conditions attached to the various entry categories. And by securing the borders against <b>asylum</b> seekers arriving by <b>boat</b>, Australians can have confidence in the broad integrity of our immigration program. Britain has a lot to learn from us.</p>

</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">O ne of the bizarre aspects of Australia's official attitude to foreigners wanting to come here to live, work or study is that while one subset (<b>asylum</b> seekers) is regarded with intense suspicion and hostility, the remainder is considered pure of motive, and given every help and encouragement. They may appear more presentable than some of the more desperate <b>asylum</b> seekers, but many of these individuals are far from virtuous. Permanent residency is their goal, and they're prepared to rort the many official visa or migration schemes to get it, with the connivance if needs be of shonky agents, employers, education providers or corrupt bureaucrats. Successive governments have had this chicanery brought to their attention (usually by the media) over many years. Few, if any, have resolved to stop the cheating, however. There's been hardly any extra funding allocated to the <span class="companylink">Australian Federal Police</span>, or to federal crime or anti-corruption bodies to investigate visa-related fraud in the public service or to pursue and prosecute known cheats. Moreover, the schemes aimed at enticing prospective visitors and migrantscontinue to operate with nary a note of concern from either of the major parties. A joint <span class="companylink">Fairfax Media</span>/ABC investigation has provided new detail on how some of the immigration scams works - as well as the disturbing news that crime syndicates and people smugglers have become big parties to the corruption rackets. And the rorting frequently goes unpunished. A former immigration department investigations officer, Joseph Petyanszki, claims that thousands of fraudulent visa applications were uncovered from 2007-13, but that in most cases charges were never brought. A major corruption case inside the department collapsed when the officer involved fled overseas. According to Mr Petyanszki, "fearmongering [over <b>asylum</b>-seeker <b>boat</b> arrivals] has totally ignored where the vast bulk of real fraud is [occurring, and this is] significantly undermining our immigration programs". And the investigation has also revealed that the <span class="companylink">Australian Commission for Law Enforcement Integrity</span> is struggling to cope with the 132 alleged immigration corruption cases referred to it by the Department of Immigration and Border Force over the past 12 months. Departmental secretary Michael Pezzullo implemented new staff probity and integrity policies last year, and its likely these referrals to the ACLEI are a consequence of that crackdown. That it took immigration until 2015 to address years of mismanagement (and mistreatment of vulnerable people like Cornelia Rau and Vivian Solon), is deplorable. It's welcome, nonetheless. A more honest and upright immigration department will not of itself clear up immigration fraud, however. A federal anti- corruption body, with inquisitorial powers and a brief to cast a wide net, is also needed. And given that it is the immigration system feeding this corrupt activity, the next federal government must act to fix the mess.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Over the past 15 years, an extraordinary amount of energy in Australian politics has been expended on questions of immigration. Most of the debate has focused on a specific question, as important as it is vexed - the response to people arriving by <b>boat</b> to seek <b>asylum</b>. The Age has long argued this issue is far more complex than most public debate has allowed: that there is now an unprecedented number of displaced people on the planet; that it is not illegal to seek <b>asylum</b> however you arrive; and that Australia must play a leading role in setting up proper regional processing. But while the focus has been on <b>asylum</b> seekers, other equally important questions at the heart of our national security and concerning our immigration system have for years received comparatively little attention from the political class.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Over the past two days, The Age and the ABC's 7.30 program have revealed fresh details of corruption affecting the flow of goods and people across our borders. They include whistleblower claims that people smugglers are profiteering in a thriving cash-for-visa black market. The rorting of work and student visa programs is alleged to include immigration officials, licensed migration agents and education providers. In the past year alone, a high number of corruption allegations involving immigration officers have been referred for investigation.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Today, we reveal that a relatively small number of Australian Border Force officials and members of the <span class="companylink">US Air Force</span> have allegedly joined international crime syndicates to smuggle tobacco and drugs into the country. Meanwhile, former NSW police commissioner Ken Moroney has warned the Coalition that its decision to scrap the Customs Reform Board could lead to a rise in graft. The nation's corruption watchdog, the <span class="companylink">Australian Commission for Law Enforcement Integrity</span>, is also very poorly resourced, despite probing significant border security corruption allegations.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">These problems have built while the government has politicised border protection. The creation of the Border Force out of Customs and part of the Immigration Department may have had operational logic, but it was also blatantly political. The revelations that a small number of border security officials may themselves pose a national security threat require urgent attention. But the issues are greater than that one agency.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Over years, The Age has revealed rampant corruption, including fraudulent education visas being used to bring people into the country to work illegally and others being brought through to be exploited in the sex trade. That Immigration has referred alleged corruption cases to be investigated is welcome, but steps must be taken to boost the resources available to anti-corruption investigators. Australia spends the better part of $1 billion a year on holding refugees and <b>asylum</b> seekers on Pacific islands without advancing a resettlement solution.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It needs to better invest in the <span class="companylink">Australian Commission for Law Enforcement Integrity</span> to give it teeth to probe corruption in border protection agencies. As we have argued, it also urgently needs a broad-based, national independent commission against corruption.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There were welcome signs yesterday that our leaders are paying some attention. Opposition Leader Bill Shorten said the latest revelations constitute a "major crisis" of our national security system. Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said such allegations would be relentlessly pursued until any offenders were brought to justice. Both need to go further. As we approach the end of this long election campaign, cleaning up our national security agencies should be an unambiguously bipartisan goal.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">When Mr Yousofi was released in November 2011, he went to Brisbane for a month, then to Rockhampton in Queensland in January 2012 working in an abattoir until September when he returned to WA and got a job as a farm labourer in Gingin.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He started working for his current employer, a small fencing contractor, at the start of 2013. By 2014, he had saved enough to buy a work utility, trailer and tools and to put down a deposit on a house in Beechboro.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Yousofi asked to be reunited with his wife, a nurse who lives with his mother in Kabul, in January 2012.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Department of Immigration was ordered to review his application, initially wrongly knocked back.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Thousands of dollars in legal and application fees later, the family reunion rules were changed on December 19, 2013.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Now refugees who arrived in Australia by <b>boat</b> can only be reunited with their families once they become citizens.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But late last year the <span class="companylink"><b>Refugee</b> Council of Australia</span> said more than 200 refugees who had qualified to become Australian citizens had had their applications delayed — some by more than a year — with no explanation.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And despite a Federal Government promise to resettle 12,000 Syrian refugees on top of its 2015-16 humanitarian quota of 13,750, last year, Australia resettled 9399 refugees — 2171 fewer than in 2014.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">
<span class="companylink">Curtin University</span> academic Caroline Fleay said refugees, some living in Australia for 10 years, were devastated by government roadblocks between them and their families.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They had been accepted as refugees and had been working and paying tax in Australia but they had no safe way to get their wives and children here.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Yousofi, meanwhile, has spent more than $25,000 on travel, on a handful of visits to his wife in countries near Afghanistan.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Every month, I send $1000 to my family,” he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“If she was here, I could spend that money here.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Putting to one side the positive economic multiplier effect of refugees working, paying tax and and spending their money in Australia, the <b>Refugee</b> Council’s Paul Power said the Federal Government was “wasting billions of dollars on keeping a small number of people in cruel conditions”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As Mr Power pointed out, we need leaders to work together for better answers for displaced people.</p>

MALCOLM Turnbull used his Liberal Party campaign launch yesterday to urge voters to choose stability over change so the country — and the economy — can safely navigate the global fallout from Britain’s shock exit from the <span class="companylink">EU</span>.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Prime Minister channelled the successful Howard era and reminded voters of the chaos of the previous Rudd-Gillard-Rudd Labor governments as he laid out the case for the Coalition to win a second term in office.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The launch was deliberately low-key because the PM wanted to highlight the need for the nation to live within its means under a stable government There was no campaign song, no brass bands — not even a real stage. Instead, Mr Turnbull stood in a modest room, in a modest Western Sydney hotel, pledging safe hands at home while painting Australia as a rapidly changing land of opportunity.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He said the government would provide the incentives for business to grow, expand and employ more Australians in new sectors.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Turnbull stressed the Coalition had the right economic plan for uncertain times.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Our opportunities have never been greater, but challenges, risks and uncertainty abound,’’ he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“This is a time that demands stable, majority government. Calm heads, steady hands, ­stable government and a strong economic plan are critical for Australia to withstand any (global) repercussions.” The pitch was made as long-serving former PM John Howard watched from the front row alongside the man who Mr Turnbull ousted from the top job last year.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As well as praising both former prime ministers, Mr Turnbull used the setting of the campaign launch to announce almost $400 million in new spending measures, including $192 million to help the treatment and management of mental health issues.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There was also $64 million to keep guns off the streets, $50 million to assist seniors who want to improve their digital literacy skills and $48 million to help 24,000 ­disadvantaged children with their education.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Turnbull also committed $31 million to encourage women and girls to study and work in science, technology, engineering and maths.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And he set aside a $10 million boost to improve Aboriginal language services. The Prime Minister set the tone for the final week of the campaign by warning the nation’s prosperity was at risk if voters did not elect a majority Coalition government.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He warned Australians against a “roll of the dice” on the minor parties. “It would be the same old Labor; a replay of the Gillard years and another power-sharing fiasco with the Greens and independents,’’ he said Mr Turnbull also launched a tirade on Mr Shorten’s false claims that the Coalition was considering privatising all or part of Medicare.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“They boast of how many people they have deceived,” he said. “That’s not an alternative government — that’s an opposition unfit to govern.” Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce and Deputy Liberal leader Julie Bishop also addressed the launch, saying the Medicare scare campaign highlighted a lack of policy and vision by the Labor Party.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Turnbull described Australia as an innovative and aspirational nation. “I can announce an additional $48 million for scholarships under the Smith Family’s Learning for Life program, to help disadvantaged students to complete year 12,’’ he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The Coalition will also invest $31 million in programs to encourage more girls and women to study and work in science technology, engineering and mathematics.” He said only 20 per cent of Australians over 60 had smartphones and the $50 million funding increase would provide a better opportunity to move into the technological age.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Turnbull reminded voters it had been 700 days since a successful illegal <b>boat</b> arrival and warned that the people-smuggling trade would restart under a Labor government.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">TURNBULL’S TOUGH TALK THE ECONOMY We present our fellow Australians with a national economic plan, every element of which supports more investment, stronger economic growth and more jobs.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">TAX CUTS A strong economy is one where businesses are confident of the future and are prepared to take the risk of investing, expanding and hiring. Our business tax cuts encourage small and medium businesses to do just that.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">THE BREXIT The shockwaves in the past 48 hours from Britain’s vote to exit the <span class="companylink">European Union</span> are a sharp reminder of the volatility in the global economy. Always expect the unexpected.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">
Malcolm Turnbull has given voters a personal pledge to enforce tough controls on <b>asylum</b>-seekers to make the issue a test of political strength in asserting Australian sovereignty, warning that a shift to Labor and the Greens would ­embolden people-smugglers.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Prime Minister escalated the dispute with Bill Shorten over border protection by insisting <b>boat</b> turnbacks were needed to shore support for a multicult­ural society, and that weakening the regime would undermine wider community confidence.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The vow came as he used his campaign launch speech yesterday to unveil a policy offensive that including a $200 million regio­nal spending package, a $64m crackdown on illegal guns, a $50m digital literacy plan for seniors, a $192m funding boost for mental health and a $48m school scholarships program.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Turnbull made his remarks against the backdrop of a Brexit vote that was fuelled in part by British concerns over immigrant workers from the <span class="companylink">EU</span>, but without drawing a direct link with years of Australian division over how to deal with <b>asylum</b>-seeker arrivals.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Coalition advisers regard the Brexit vote as a verdict on border control as well as the economy, highlighting the need to assure Australians that refugees and <b>asylum</b>-seekers are being processed in an orderly way.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Turnbull noted in his campaign speech that the government had “removed every child” from detention within Australia over the past three years and that yesterday marked 700 days without a successful people-smuggling venture. He claimed 50 Labor candid­ates would undermine a Shorten government with demands for a softer policy.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The people-smugglers are looking for the earliest sign that an Australian government will waver,” he said. “We must not. I will not. The Coalition is resolute in defending the sovereignty, the security of our borders.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Public trust in the government to determine who can come to Australia and how long they can stay is an essential foundation of our success as a multicultural ­society. Strong border protection policies instil confidence.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“A weak and failing system has the opposite effect.” Mr Turnbull’s policy offensive included $200m in grants for ­regional areas with the claim that the funds would be matched by local groups in a scheme that limits any single area to $30m in help. The details were left to community consultation. Some regions have been promised funding under the scheme already, which meant only $40m of the $200m was “new” funding announced yesterday.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Other initiatives included $64m to the <span class="companylink">Australian Federal Police</span> and other agencies to stop the spread of illegal firearms and $192m to support mental health programs including headspace, a widely-praised service whose ­future had been in doubt.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The funding for digital literacy offers grants to local groups to offer “smart-device training” to older Australians.As well as offering $48m for disadvantaged children through the Smith Family’s Learning for Life program, the Coalition has marked $31.2m for internships and career advice to encourage more females to learn ­science, technol­ogy, engineering and maths.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The email, obtained by the <span class="companylink">Herald</span> Sun, was written by a media adviser to a senior adviser working for shadow families minister Jenny Macklin, and is dated April 26 this year.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The media adviser, who the <span class="companylink">Herald</span> Sun has chosen not to name, was encouraging Ms Macklin to take up a weekly gig with ABC broadcaster Jon Faine to debate Liberal Environment Minister Greg Hunt.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But it warns there will be “risks’’ and offers to help prepare Ms Macklin. “There are topics that will come up that will be difficult (boats, economy/deficit, Rudd/Gillard) but we can prep for them,’’ the email reads.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The media adviser previously worked for Opposition Leader Bill Shorten and now works at Labor campaign headquarters.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">His comments show Labor was well aware before the election was called on May 8 that it was vulnerable on <b>asylum</b>-seeker boats. More than 50 Labor MPs and candidates have since spoken out, or have been found to have previously spoken out, against Labor’s official policy supporting <b>boat</b> turnbacks and offshore processing. It also shows that Labor knew it would be attacked on its plans for the economy and reducing the deficit.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The document further makes the comment that Ms Macklin should take the weekly slot because “there are few (dependable) senior Victorians who would be able to do it.’’ “BOC (Brendon O’Connor) is travelling with Bill; Catherine (King) will be in Ballarat, Richard (Marles) stays away from Faine because of his portfolio,’’ it says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The document seems to ignore the possible contribution that could be made by senior Victorian frontbenchers such as Stephen Conroy, Kim Carr and Mark Dreyfus.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It also confirms that Mr Marles avoids Mr Faine’s program because he holds the immigration portfolio.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And, the email continues, Labor’s messages “will play better on Faine than the Libs”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It says Ms Macklin is unlikely to make a mistake being interviewed, and “certainly some of your colleagues would be more likely to stuff up.’’ellen.whinnett@news.com.au</p>
